continuous period of driving which include; running a red light, overtaking and passing a vehicle

points - ANS-Points are assessed upon conviction of a traffic offense. You should be aware that
the term "conviction" includes forfeiture of collateral or payment of a fine without a court
appearance. In such a case, you have admitted guilt to that violation. The violation and point
assessment is recorded on your driving record.
, multiple point infractions - ANS-Whenever convictions occur on multiple charges committed at
the same time, points are assessed only to the violation that has the highest point value.
However, all convictions of violations will be recorded on the driving record. This record is
available not only to the M.V.A., but to law enforcement, courts, administrative law judges,
insurance companies, and in some cases, the general public.
point duration - ANS-Points assessed to a record will be valid for a period of two years starting
from the actual date of the violation (issuance of the summons). In other words, if you receive
points for a violation, they will remain on your Maryland driving record for two (2) years.
number of points for suspension - ANS-At 8 points, the law states that the driver shall be notified
by mail of the suspension of his/her driving privilege. The driver has the right to a hearing, if one
is requested in writing, within 15 days of the notice date. The period of suspension begins when
the license is received by the M.V.A. The license must be surrendered to the M.V.A. where it will
be destroyed. At the end of the suspension period, the driver must go to an M.V.A. office to get
a new license and pay the required fee.
revocation - ANS-When 12 points have been accumulated, the law states that the driver shall be
sent a letter of revocation. When a revocation is imposed, the driving privilege is not restored

relicensing. A person revoked for the first time is not eligible for reinstatement for 6 months; a
second time, 12 months; a third revocation, 18 months; four or more revocations, 24 months.
The period of revocation does not begin until the driver's license is received by the M.V.A.
