Points Assessment
Points Assessment
Each time you are convicted or forfeit bail for a moving traffic violation, points are assessed against your permanent driving record. Points assessed will be determined by the highest violation point value when multiple violations exist from the same traffic stop or event. If you accumulate 8 or more points in any 12-month period, you may be required to attend Traffic Survival School (TSS), or your driving privilege may be suspended up to 12 months. This table shows how points are assessed according to the infraction committed.

| Failure to stop for a traffic signal, stop sign or to yield the right-of-way, causing serious injury | 4 |
