The point system used by MVA in Maryland is
confusing for everyone. It is important
to know of the important point thresholds and how they affect your Maryland
driver’s license.
If you accumulate 3-4
points, MVA will send you a warning letter to notify you of the point
accumulation.
If you receive between
5-7 points, driver improvement classes will be required.
Once you accumulate
between 8-11 points, your license is suspended.
This can happen either from an accumulation of points based on several
driving offenses, or it can result from an alcohol or drug violation while
driving.
Once you have 12 or
more points, your license is revoked. In
order to have your driving privileges reinstated, you must wait a certain
amount of time depending on your case.
For a first revocation, there is a 6 month waiting period. However, with 4 or more revocations on your
driving record, there is a 2 year waiting period. This waiting period begins the day that you
turn in your driver’s license to MVA.
Once the waiting period
has finished, you may apply for reinstatement with MVA’s Driver Wellness and
Safety Division. Once MVA has made a
determination for your license, you will be notified whether it has been
granted or denied.
