Motor vehicle points are assessed by Motor Vehicles for moving violations, for instance if you receive six points you’ll receive a surcharge. If you received 12 points you’ll receive an automatic suspension from Motor Vehicles. Plus any time you get points at Motor Vehicles your insurance company will assess surcharges as well for those moving violations. Traffic tickets carry points for a variety of reasons. You can have as little as a two point ticket for speeding and it goes all the way up to eight points for leaving the scene of an accident with personal injury. So basically if you violate the motor vehicle code you’re going to face penalties both at Motor Vehicles as well as with your insurance company.
