Licenses suspension parameters and time periods are as follows: The number of points you receive for each infraction depends upon the severity of the violation. In Florida, many of the common traffic infractions are given a number value, recorded as “points.' These points are given so that if you receive multiple infractions within a given period of time, some or all of your driving privileges may be lost. The FL Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is responsible for keeping track of point violations on your Florida driving record. To maintain all of your driving privileges in the state of Florida, it's important that you understand how the point system works so you can maintain a clean driving record.
