What Are the Consequences of Getting 6 Points Deducted from a Driver's License?

[DiNorah]

Deducting 6 points from a driver's license only has consequences under specific circumstances: For drivers holding licenses for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, or large trucks, if they accumulate more than 6 points but fewer than 12 points during the one-year probationary period, the probationary period will be extended by one year. If they again accumulate more than 6 points but fewer than 12 points during the extended probationary period, their driving qualification for the probationary vehicle type will be revoked. If a motor vehicle driver accumulates fewer than 12 points in a scoring cycle and has paid all fines, the points will be cleared at the end of the cycle. If points are fewer than 12 but fines remain unpaid, the points will carry over to the next scoring cycle. For large bus, tractor, city bus, medium-sized bus, or large truck licenses, if points are deducted during a scoring cycle, the driver must participate in at least three hours of study on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency response, and receive case-based education on traffic accidents during the annual review.
