Point Suspension

Colorado law permits the point suspension of licenses of drivers who have been convicted of traffic violations and have exceeded a threshold number of points.  Traffic citations received by drivers may result in a certain number of points being recorded against a driver license.  Drivers who exceed the threshold within a certain time period are at risk of having their licenses suspended.

State law sets forth a schedule of points that may be assessed for specific traffic violations.  The number of points necessary for the point suspension of a license and the periods during which these points may be accumulated vary with the age of the driver.  The table below provides point assessments specifically for speeding violations.
