The California Department of Motor Vehicle Point System
The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has a points system attached for traffic violations, depending on the offense's severity. As points add up, drivers risk having their license suspended or revoked.
I am lawyer Mark J. Madrigali and I have handled thousands of cases involving protecting clients' driving privilege with the point system. My success is a result of my proving they can drive by responsibly and reducing the points charged to their license. Contact me today to schedule a free initial consultation.
How Does the Point System Work?
Motorists who obtain four points in a year from traffic violations risk loosing their license. This is a complex area of the law, with each offense receiving either one or two points per occurrence. I will review your driving record, while examining the points accumulated for each offense, such as:
One Point Violations
- Turn and lane violations
- Speeding under 100 mph
- Child safety seat violations
- Driving through a red light or stop sign
- Vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence
Two Point Violations
- Reckless driving
- An at-fault accident
- Evading police officers
- Hit-and-run accidents
- Speeding over 100 mph
- Driving while intoxicated
- Vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence
- Driving on the wrong side of a divided highway
Even simple traffic violations can add-up to affect your driving privilege. Four points in one year, six points in two years and eight points in four years could cause the DMV to suspend your license for six months. I work to helping you fight every ticket. Each year, I handle about 1,500 traffic violations, giving me great deal of experience with the DMV.
Years of Experience Representing Commercial Drivers
Commercial truck drivers are held to a higher standard. Once they have a point-and a-half on their record, commercial drivers risk license revocation. Truck companies often fire drivers, if they are arrested - even before a conviction. As part of their contract, commercial drivers are required to contact their home office when they receive a ticket. I fight aggressively for you. I have the experience to reduce commercial truck driver's points to .3 in order for them to keep their license. I will do everything possible to protect your career.
