After receiving a ticket for a moving violation, the state will typically assign points against your driver’s license. Low-level offenses usually only result in a few points that go away in a couple of years. On the other hand, more serious offenses can result in large license demerit penalties that can remain on your license for 8-12 years depending on your state. Once you reach a certain level of demerits on your license, your driving rights may be suspended or revoked. In this post, we’ll discuss the average demerits for some common offenses, how long they will stay on your record, and what how your insurance rates might respond.
