Points Assessed on Your Driving Record
In the case of traffic violations and traffic tickets, your offense may
result in points assessed to your driving record. Examples of points accrued
from such violations include 12 points for driving with a revoked or suspended
license, 4 points for failure to produce an insurance identification card
and 1 point for failing to stop at a stop sign. 2 points will be assessed
for speeding, failing to stop at a stop sign, failing to stop at a traffic
signal, impaired driving and for committing a prohibited U turn. A traffic
ticket may not, at first, appear to be a serious offense. With fines,
increased insurance premiums, loss of your driving privileges and time
in jail as possible consequences, it is vital that traffic violations
