California Drivers License Points
The California DMV keeps a public record of all your traffic convictions and accidents. Each occurrence stays on your record for 36 months or longer, depending on the type of conviction. If you get too many "points," you will lose your driver license.
You may be considered a negligent operator when your driving record shows any one of the following "point count" totals regardless of your license class:
4 points in 12 months
6 points in 24 months
8 points in 36 months
If you get too many negligent driver points, DMV will place you on probation for one year (which includes a six month suspension) or revoke your driving privilege. Your suspension or revocation order informs you of your right to a hearing. A minor, under 18 years of age, may receive a 30-day restriction for 2 points in 12 months, or be suspended for 3 points in 12 months
Out of state minor speeding tickets are one point.
