How many points against a license result in suspension?

In North Dakota, accumulating 12 points against a driving license results in the suspension of that license. This point system is designed to monitor and penalize unsafe driving behaviors. When a driver reaches this threshold, typically, they receive a notice of suspension from the Department of Transportation, as the accumulation of points indicates a pattern of risky driving behavior that poses a threat to public safety.

Understanding this point system is essential for drivers who want to maintain their driving privileges and for peace officers who enforce traffic laws. It's important for officers to convey the implications of accumulating points to ensure that the public is aware of the potential consequences of unsafe driving actions. This knowledge helps promote responsible driving and adherence to traffic regulations.
