How many points are you aloud to have against your license before it gets suspended? I’ve heard different amounts from a bunch of people. Just curious. ---

I’m not positive, but I think if you get 6 at one time, they can revoke your license, even though the total limit is higher. ---

with you first offense at 6 points you get to take the fun written test. If you pass the written test you do not lose your license. However if the fine is over 30mph you lose your license. I know from experience on this one. I have lost my license once and had to take the test once. 3 points are taken off for every clean year of driving. if you have 6 points you need to be clean for 2 years, however if you get a ticket between the 2nd and 3rd year those 6 points come back. ---

6 points then you have to take a test If you pass the test you lose 2 points, but then you can accumulate up to 11 points. at 12 points its suspended 10 days for every point you have. When you come off your suspension you only have 5 points. Make sense? Reckless Driving conviction is 5 points and 6 month suspension 30 over the limit is 5 points and a 6 month suspension ---

I had 18 points before I turned 17… my first ticket was for 32 over (72 in a 40) thanks god I slowed down to pass people! For that one I got 5 points and a departmental hearing, if you miss the hearing it’s an automatic 60 day suspension (yay I missed the hearing) If you get the points fast enough it doesn’t matter. When you get your license back you start at 5 points. I skimmed right past 6 the first time through, then the second time I passed through 6, I had to take the test. Then the third time I crossed six I had a departmental hearing at which the threatened to take my license (but didn’t) the second time I passed 11… well anyways the first time you hit 11 you loose your license 5 days for every point, then the second time you loose it for 10 days per point, and the third time you loose it for 15 days per point, but I don’t remember what happens the fourth time and so on… If you get caught driving on a suspended/expired/revoked license you automatically loose it for a year ( yeah had that one too) I’ve honestly talked my way out of more tickets than I’ve received… but regardless the file in the cabinet that holds my license information is the biggest file! Don’t worry I’m better now, my last speeding ticket was for 97 in a 55 out in Wyoming on my Honeymoon in '01 and I talked my way out of a 94 in a 65 2 easter’s ago (thanks to my daughter screaming her ass off since I stopped the car) regardless there has only been a month’s time that I went without driving… ---
