West Virginia Point System curbs unsafe drivers
The 1962 West Virginia Point System, run by the Department of Motor Vehicles, assigns demerit points for traffic violations to identify repeat offenders. At six points drivers receive a caution letter, and higher totals trigger interviews, probation, or license suspension. Points remain on record for two years, with seven-plus points prompting action to improve driving. Noted leader James E. Walker and WV DMV head Jack Nuckols emphasize reform over punishment and claim the system reduces highway danger.
