If you are charged with any vehicle code violation:
The Point System:
Each time you forfeit bail, plead, or are found guilty on a moving violation, you receive a point or two points on your
DMV driving record. A moving violation includes most violations except parking, bicycle, pedestrian, registration, and defective equipment matters.
Two Points Are Charged Against You If You Are Convicted Of:
Drunk driving
Reckless driving (showing disregard for, or risk of causing injury or property damage, or causing injury or damage by recklessness)
Reckless driving (alcohol)
Hit-and-run driving
Driving while your license is suspended
All other offenses count as one point
The Department Of Motor Vehicles May Suspend You License Up To Six Months:
If you receive four points in one year, six points in two years, or eight points in three years.
Insurance:
Another of the consequences of pleading or being found guilty or forfeiting bail for a moving violation is that many insurance companies raise the premiums, and sometimes even cancel your insurance.
