No Insurance Drivers Under Age 21 Speeding and Other Violations THE POINT SYSTEM Indefinite Suspensions/Revocations If you are under age 21 when arrested,  conviction for any of the alcohol or drug-related  violations listed above will result in a minimum  one-year revocation. A second violation while  under age 21 requires a revocation for one year  or until you reach age 21, whichever is longer.  These penalties apply to youthful offenders, or if  you were arrested or convicted out of state (see  Traffic Tickets Received Out-Of-State). Under the state’s “Zero Tolerance Law,” a driver  under age 21 will have his or her license suspend- ed for six months if found to have a BAC from .02  to .07. A .02 BAC could occur from only one drink.  For a second Zero Tolerance violation, the driver  license will be revoked for one year or until the  driver turns age 21, whichever is longer. Your driver license will be revoked for at least  six months if you are found guilty of: Your driver license will also be suspended  indefinitely if you fail to file an accident report,  submit a bad check or incur a credit card charge  back for DMV fees, fail to pay child support, fail  to pay taxes or fail to fulfill a court judgment that  results from a traffic accident. This suspension will  be in effect until you correct the condition that led  to the suspension.  The DMV point system identifies “persistent  violators”, that is, drivers who commit a series of  violations in a short time period. The table in this  chapter lists the point values assigned to various  moving traffic violations.* Note that traffic laws  which must be obeyed on public highways, roads  and streets also apply to parking lots open to the public. While each violation listed alone is not serious  enough to require license suspension or revoca- tion, the accumulation of several violations on your driving record can indicate that action must  be taken. Your driver license will be revoked for at least  one year if you operate or allow another person  to operate your uninsured vehicle, or if the DMV  receives evidence that you were involved in a  traffic crash without being insured. If the insurance  coverage for your vehicle has expired, you must  turn in the license plates and registration to a mo- tor vehicle office. If the vehicle is removed from  the road and not being driven, you must return the  plates or you can face civil penalties or registra- tion suspension and/or license suspension. *All V&T Law violations result in fines to the  driver in addition to license sanctions. • Three speeding and/or misdemeanor traffic  violations within 18 months (based on date  of violation, not date of conviction). • Three “passing a stopped school bus” violations within three years.
