Demerit Points-Massachusetts

Remember, the RMV treats most out-of-state traffic convictions as if they occurred in Massachusetts .

Under Massachusetts driving law, if you receive three speeding violations within a 12-month period, your driver's license will be suspended automatically for 30 days. The 12-month period begins when you either pay or are found responsible for the first of the 3 citations.

Junior operators (under age 18) face a tougher license suspension of 180 days for any combination of 2 speeding or drag racing citations and a 1 year suspension for a third violation.

If you collect five surchargeable events on your driving record within a 3-year period, you are in danger of having your license suspended. You will receive a letter from the RMV instructing you to complete a driver-retraining program.

You must complete the retraining course within 90 days or your license will be suspended indefinitely until you complete the program. If you have taken the driver retraining program in the past 3 years, you are exempt from this requirement.

Under Massachusetts driving law, if you collect seven surchargeable events within a 3-year period, your license will be suspended automatically for 60 days.
