Habitual Traffic Violators: Defense Lawyer
Fort Wayne Traffic Ticket Lawyer
Traffic violations can result in an accumulation of points on your driving record. Each violation has a two, four, six or eight point value. Too many points accumulated in too short a period of time can result in penalties such as:
- Mandatory completion of a defensive driving program
- Driver's license suspension
- Increased insurance rates
- Cancelled insurance policy
Traffic Violations and Points
While it is generally true that points will drop off of your record after a three year period, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) keeps a complete summary of all of your violations. Even more important than the quantity of points received, are the types of traffic violations that occurred. Certain more serious violations over a 10 year period can result in the Bureau of Motor Vehicles determining that a driver has qualified as an Habitual Traffic Violator. These offenses include Operating While Intoxicated (OWI/DUI) or under the influence of drugs, reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, driving without ever being issued a license, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, drag racing and felony offenses such as vehicular homicide.
If the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles determines you are an Habitual Traffic Violator (HTV) , your driver's license can be suspended for 5 years, 10 years, or for even suspended for life.
