Sam gets several traffic tickets over two years. Under the DMV point system, when can his license be suspended because of points?
Correct answer: When he has 11 or more points for violations committed within 24 months
Why
Points are added only after a conviction, but they count from the date of the violation. Some point values rose on February 16, 2026; for example, passing a stopped school bus is now 8 points. A DMV-approved crash prevention course can take up to 4 points off the total that the DMV uses to decide on a suspension.
