What Those Points Actually Trigger

The numbers above matter because of three thresholds. At 6 points within 18 months, the DMV assesses a Driver Responsibility Assessment of $100 per year for three years, plus $25 per year for each point beyond the sixth. At 11 points from violations committed within a 24-month period, the DMV can schedule a hearing at which your license may be suspended or revoked. A Point and Insurance Reduction Program course subtracts 4 points from the suspension calculation and lowers your insurance premium, though the convictions remain on your record.
