Why points matter

A 2-point ticket may look minor until it combines with prior points, new-driver status, CDL rules, or insurance underwriting. Six or more points can create surcharge exposure.

Common point examples

Careless driving is commonly 2 points, improper turn is commonly 3 points, speeding 15-29 mph over is commonly 4 points, and tailgating or reckless driving is commonly 5 points.

Before you plead guilty, have the ticket checked.

Send the ticket number or your name and date of birth. The office can review the situation and tell you whether paying online may create points, insurance risk, employment issues, or a court-date problem.
