\u00a0Here is the current Points Assessment chart<\/strong><\/p>

Each time you are convicted or forfeit bail for a moving traffic violation, points are assessed against your permanent driving record. If you accumulate 8 or more points in any 12-month period, you may be required to attend Traffic Survival School (TSS), or your driving privilege may be suspended up to 12 months.\u00a0This table shows how points are assessed according to the infraction committed.<\/p>
