Point System Starts Monday Continues From Teller report
The report outlines a driver point system with penalties for accumulating points. A 12 point threshold triggers hearings with a department rep to determine license suspension and potential probation for a year. Additional violations can lead to suspensions up to two years and possible license revocation after multiple offenses. Three-year lookbacks remove older points from the record. Kentucky law ties the system to mandatory actions in severe driving offenses.
