What Every Driver Needs to Know about the California DMV Point System
Nearly everyone who drives has or has had points on their California driving record at one time or another. Few of us are perfect, and infractions are bound to occur. But how many points are too much before you are deemed a California negligent operator? For those who are not aware, the term “California negligent operator,” part of the Negligent Operator Treatment System (NOTS), is bureaucrat-speak for the state’s DMV point system. Consequences for accruing too many points could mean increased insurance rates or even suspension of your driving privilege.
Avoid Being a California Negligent Operator
Your California driving record and the points you accrue are not one and the same. The driving record shows the traffic tickets issued—excluding those that have been dismissed. It also shows the points you accrue. Ticket Snipers believes it is well worth it to find out how to get your driving record in order to review it and make sure it is accurate. To check your California driving record, you can contact the DMV directly or hire a private firm to do it for you in half the time.
The Low-Down on the California DMV Point System
It should surprise no one that the California DMV point system is complex and foreboding. Moving and non-moving violations are awarded points based on their severity, as deemed by the courts. So a “speeding in excess of local limits” ticket is deemed one point but “speeding over 100 MPH” is deemed two points. If you accrue two points within the in an 18-month period, a warning suspension letter will be issued for your license. The California DMV point system, formally known as NOTS, has four levels of action for drivers:
- Level 1: A warning letter is sent (2 points)
- Level 2: A notice of intent to suspend letter is sent (3 points)
- Level 3: Probation and possible suspension is issued (4 or more points)
- Level 4: Suspension or revocation is issued due to violation of probation
How to Get Your Driving Record and Why?
A lot of motorists don’t bother to check their California driving record, and this is a mistake. Sometimes, dismissed traffic tickets and points that should have been erased due to traffic school will still erroneously appear. If you drive a vehicle for a living, then you probably already know how to check your driving record. Your continued employment depends on it. Regardless of what you do for a living, did you know that employers routinely check public records, which includes your driving record? For this reason and others you want to make sure it is accurate.
