Uses a point system
Alabama
ALEA assigns points for traffic convictions and suspends any Alabama license when 12 or more points build up within a 2-year period, for 60 to 365 days depending on the total.
Other consequences
For a graduated driver license holder, a second moving violation conviction, or a conviction for an offense carrying four or more points (such as reckless driving or illegal passing), automatically suspends the license for 60 days.
How long points count
A conviction counts toward a points suspension for 2 years. After that it no longer counts for suspension but stays on the driver record.

What this page does not do
- It does not read your driving record. Only Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) Driver License Division can confirm your current total.
- It does not predict a suspension: levels count only convictions inside each window, and the agency decides.
- It does not cover commercial (CDL) disqualifications or DUI suspensions, which follow separate rules.
