Are You Worried About Points on Your Driver’s License?

This is Don, your Harvard lawyer coming at you again.

Do you know how many points are on your driver’s license?

The Michigan Secretary-of-State adds points to your driver’s license if:

  • you are guilty of a traffic violation, such as speeding, failing to merge, etc., or
  • you commit a criminal offense involving a motor vehicle, such as drunk driving.

 

I represent represent clients in all of Michigan’s 83 counties; I can help you understand how many points will added to your driver’s license.

Some of the areas where we can help you include:

  • Reckless Driving
  • OWI, DUI, or any drunk-driving related offense
  • Open-Alcohol-Container Violations
  • Leaving the Scene of an Accident
  • Manslaughter
  • Underage Transportation of Alcohol

 

How do you get points on your license? Well, for example, you get

  • 2 points – for driving 10 miles over the speed limit, refusing a PBT, or driving with an open container of alcohol
  • 3 points – for a bunch of stuff, most commonly for speeding 11-15 mph over the limit
  • 4 points – for example, being convicted of OWVI or driving 16 mph over the speed limit
  • 6 points – for serious charges, such as DUI, refusing a chemical test, fleeing police, etc.

 

When you reach 12 points, the SOS will reexamine, and may suspend, your driver’s license
