How many points does it take to suspend a driver’s license in Virginia?
In Virginia, the DMV may suspend a driver’s license if the driver accumulates 18 demerit points within 12 months or 24 demerit points within 24 months. Demerit points are assigned when a driver is convicted of traffic violations and remain on the driving record for two years from the offense date.
Drivers can reduce the risk of suspension by earning safe driving points, including up to five safe points by completing a Driver Improvement Clinic. NOVA DRIVING SCHOOL VA offers a Driver Improvement Clinic Online Course that meets Virginia DMV requirements and helps eligible drivers improve their driving record while complying with court or DMV expectations.
