funny how drag racing ranks up with DUI and evading police...

                                   The Department of Motor Vehicles
(DMV) keeps a record of all of your traffic
                                   convictions and accidents. These
violations are recorded in the form of "points" on
                                   your driving record, and will remain
there for 36 or more months, depending on the
                                   violation. Points are assessed as
follows:

                                   One point is charged against your
license for:

                                        Driving unsafely, or

                                        Any "at fault" accident

                                   One point violations stay on your
record for 36 months.

                                   Two points are charged against you if
you are convicted of:

                                        Driving under the influence
(DUI) of alcohol or drugs

                                        Reckless driving

                                        Hit-and-run driving

                                        Causing property damage by
hit-and-run driving

                                        Evading a police officer
                                        (Fleeing a police officer now
carries a minimum sentence of 6 months in jail.)

                                        Driving with a suspended or
revoked license

                                        Driving on the wrong side of the
road

                                        "Drag Racing" or other speed
contests

                                        Vehicular manslaughter

                                        Illegally transporting
explosives

                                   Two point violations stay on your
record for seven years, except for drunk driving (DUI)
                                   which stays on your license for ten
years.
