The Point System:     

 

New York uses the Point System to determine if a driver’s license or privileges should be suspended or revoked. While a single violation will not in most cases result in a suspension or revocation of one’s drivers license several violations over a short period of time can result in a suspension or revocation of ones’ license. Points are charged against your license from the date of the violation date and not the date of the conviction. Currently when you amass 7 to 10 points within 18 months you will receive a warning letter from the DMV When you receive 11 or more points in 18 months you will receive a notice from DMV summoning you to a hearing after which your license may be suspended or revoked.
