The number of points that will lead to a license suspension depends on the state or country and the time period in which the points were accumulated. For instance:
- New drivers in the UK If you get 6 or more points within 2 years of passing your test, your license will be canceled (revoked)
- New York If you get 11 points in 18 months, your driver license may be suspended
- Colorado Has different point brackets based on age. For adults 21 and over, a license will be suspended if you accumulate 12 or more points within any 12 months, or 18 or more points within any 24 months
- Florida 12 points within 12 months leads to a 30-day suspension, 18 points within 18 months leads to a three-month suspension, and 24 points within 36 months results in a one-year suspension
- Alabama Suspension periods vary: 12-14 points in a 2-year period leads to a 60-day suspension, while 24 and above points in a 2-year period results in a 365-day suspension
- Georgia A driver with 15 points in a 24-month period will have their license suspended
