Good morning. I heard about some driver points the other day, do you have any info about it?
Good morning. You are talking about the Driver Violation Point System. It's a system that allows the NYS DMV to identify high risk drivers and take pertinent actions against them. Works on an assigned points basis for certain traffic violations.
Do you know how many points do you have in your license?
No, i don't know.
================
How i don't get points, by the way?
Well, you won't get any points in case of any of the following: any bicycle violation, any pedestrian violation or any parking violation.
================
Ok, got it. Uh, and what happens if i'm out of NYS?
If the violation occurs outside NYS, your driving record won't be affected by the violation, because it's outside NYS jurisdiction. Only exception is, if the violation happens to be in Ontario or Quebec.
================
Ok, thanks. May i know how my points are summed up, please?
Well, in first place, you must have a conviction by traffic violation. After that, points are added to your driving license. Second, the number of points to be added are based on your violation's date, not conviction's. And lastly,If the violation occurred within the last eighteen months, you'll certainly have those points added to your license.
