Points stay on your license for two years.

Six-point Violations

  • Committing a homicide with your car
  • Driving while under the influence
  • Failing to stop and give necessary information at the scene of a crash
  • Purposely fleeing or eluding a police officer
  • Racing on public roads
  • Driving a vehicle without the owner's permission
  • Driving with a suspended or revoked license
  • Committing a felony with your car
 

Four-point Violations

  • Driving with wanton disregard of the safety of pedestrians, other drivers, or property
  • Driving under the influence as a minor
  • Going 30 Mph or more over the speed limit

Two-point Violations

  • Most moving violations (excluding issues regarding load limits)
  • Driving a vehicle despite a BMV restriction
  • No points: when the driver was going less than 10 Mph over the limit on highways with a 55 Mph limit or higher, or at less than 5 Mph over the limit in a municipality.
  • Non-moving violations, such as forgetting to renew your registration on time or no headlights, may result in a ticket and a fine, but will not result in points being assessed against you, and will not show up on your driving record.
