The Pennsylvania Point System: How It Affects Your Driving Privileges and Finances
Individuals who are unable to drive because of license suspension may experience financial hardship due to the inability to drive to work or school. Additionally, insurance rates usually increase for individuals with traffic tickets. The Pennsylvania point system affects drivers in the following ways:
- First time reaching 6 or more points – driver takes a special written exam and is required to pass within 30 days or faces license suspension. 2-point removal from the record if the driver passes the exam.
- Second time 6 points are reached – the driver must take an on the road driving exam and faces a 15-day license suspension.
- Third time 6 points are reached – driver faces a PennDOT hearing.
If a driver accumulates 11 points, it can result in an automatic license suspension but would depend on a number of prior suspensions.
