New York tightens DMV point system: 11 points in 24 months triggers license review, down from 18.
Starting February 16, New York State is enforcing a stricter DMV point system, increasing points for traffic violations including reckless driving, passing stopped school buses, and impaired driving.
Accumulating 11 points within 24 months—down from 18—triggers a license review, possibly leading to suspension.
Drivers with seven points must complete a safety course.
The changes aim to improve road safety by targeting repeat and high-risk offenders, with officials stating law-abiding drivers won’t be affected.
The system also extends record retention and raises financial penalties.
While supported by safety advocates, some legal experts warn of unintended consequences, including increased legal challenges and impacts on professional drivers.
