For instance, we can request a "points hearing," where we appear in front of a DMV hearings officer and they consider certain aggravating and mitigating evidence to determine the length of the suspension, as well as whether or not they will grant a restricted license during the suspension.
CHECK HOW MANY POINTS ARE ON MY LICENSE DRIVER
Once a driver receives a "point suspension" its important that they contact an attorney who deals with these types of cases because there are things that can be done to preserve your privilege to drive. So for instance if you are cited for traveling 1-4 miles over the speed limit, you would not receive any points, 5-9 over is a 3 point offense, 10-19 miles per hour over is a 4 point offense and so on. For instance in Colorado, a DUI is a 12 point offense, meaning that if you went to court and pled guilty to DUI, 12 points would automatically be entered against your license and you would get a "point suspension." Offenses like speeding are assigned points based on the speed over the posted speed limit you are cited for.
Now, I mentioned that different offenses are assigned different points based on the severity of the offense. Finally, when a driver reaches age 21, they can accumulate 12 points in 12 months or 18 points in a 24 month period of time. Once a driver reaches age 18 but before they turn 21, they can accumulate 9 points in 12 consecutive months, 12 points in a 24 month period of time, or 14 points for the duration of the license. In Colorado, a driver between the ages of 16 and 18 can accumulate 6 points in any 12 consecutive months, or 7 points for the period of the license, so really a driver can only accumulate 7 points between the ages of 16 and 18. Sound fairly vague? Well, it's meant to be, there are a lot of grey areas in the whole "points" issue. The accumulation of too many points in a certain period of time will normally result in the driver's license being revoked for some time. The more severe the offense, the more "points" that will be assigned to that offense. It's best you check with an attorney who deals with traffic issues in your state for more information.įirst, what is a "point," for the DMV's purposes? A point is an assigned number given to certain offenses. Because I'm an attorney licensed in Colorado, this article will deal mainly with the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles however, most states will be similar to Colorado. One question I'm often asked by individuals looking for an attorney to handle a traffic matter is, "How many points do I have on my license?" The short answer is I don't know, but there are ways of finding out.

Most states (but not all states) have what we call a "point system" used to track traffic offenses and ultimately drivers who accumulate too many points in a certain period of time can lose their license.
