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.
HOW DO I CHECK HOW MANY POINTS ARE ON MY LICENSE DRIVERS
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.
