The MVA uses license points
in order to decide whether a driver should enroll in a Driver Improvement
Program, be suspended from driving or have their license revoked after failing
to follow driving laws. Points often
accumulate after minor violations, such as speeding 15 mph over the limit,
failing to use a turn signal, or running a red light, but only by 1 or 2 points
for each violation. The penalties for DWIs
and DUIs, on the other hand, are much more severe. In many states there are no points added in
addition to the consequences of the charge, but in Maryland, 8 license points are added for a DWI,
and 12 license points are added for
a DUI.
