How to Use the DUI & Traffic Ticket Point Calculator

Managing your driving record shouldn’t be a guessing game. Follow these simple steps to assess your license status:

  • Step 1: Select Your State – Driving laws vary wildly by state. Choose the state where the ticket was issued to ensure the 2026 specific point values are applied.

  • Step 2: Choose Your Violation – Select from the dropdown menu (e.g., DUI, Speeding, or Reckless Driving). Our tool automatically pulls the latest penalty data for that specific category.

  • Step 3: Enter Existing Points – If you already have points on your license, enter them in the “Current Points” field. This helps the tool calculate if your new ticket will trigger a mandatory suspension.

  • Step 4: Toggle CDL (If Applicable) – If you hold a Commercial Driver’s License, toggle this switch. In most states, CDL penalties are significantly higher and have stricter “lookback” rules.

  • Step 5: Review Your Risk Dashboard – Once you hit “Calculate,” the tool will provide a color-coded risk assessment:

    • Green: Low risk (Safe zone).

    • Yellow: Warning (Close to suspension).

    • Red: High Risk (Immediate legal or administrative action likely required).

Point values vary by state. For example, California assigns 2 points, whereas New York recently increased the penalty to 11 points. Check your specific state using the calculator above for the most current 2026 data.

The suspension threshold is the total number of points you can accumulate within a specific timeframe (usually 12-24 months) before the DMV automatically suspends your license. In Texas, this is 6 points; in Florida, it is 12 points.

Almost certainly. Even if you stay below the legal suspension limit, insurance companies use their own internal "Insurance Eligibility Points." A DUI or major speeding ticket can increase premiums by 30% to 100% depending on the carrier.
