If you accrue 12 points within a 12 month period, your license may be suspended for 30 days. If you accrue 18 points within an 18-month period, you may lose your license for 3 months. If you accrue 24 points within 36 months, you may lose your license for one year.

Other traffic offenses include hit and run, DUI, driving with a revoked license, or driving with a suspended license. If you have been charged with any of these traffic crimes, you should talk to a lawyer at our firm immediately.
