California DMV point System
When you receive a traffic ticket in California, points are assigned to your driving record. The number of points you receive for each violation will depend upon the type of infraction you are convicted of. Some or all of your driving privileges may be revoked or suspended in California if:
You receive 4 points or more within 12 months
You receive 6 points or more within 24 months
You receive 8 points or more within 36 months
If you are driving a commercial vehicle when you are cited, the points are 1 1/2 instead of 1 for non-commercial drivers. Disobeying a sign and speeding above the posted speed limit are common violations that carry 1 1/2 points for commercial drivers when driving a commercial vehicle.
