Uses a point system
Arizona
ADOT MVD assesses points on the driving record for each moving-violation conviction or bail forfeiture. 8 or more points in any 12-month period can lead to a Traffic Survival School order or a suspension of up to 12 months.
Other consequences
Some convictions require Traffic Survival School regardless of the point total, including driving under the influence, wrong-way driving, running red lights or stop signs, aggressive driving, moving violations causing death or serious injury, and a first moving violation by a driver under 18.
Other consequences
Failing to complete Traffic Survival School when ordered results in an automatic license suspension.
Other consequences
When several violations come from the same traffic stop or event, only the highest point value is assessed.
How long points count
Points are assessed against the permanent driving record. The Traffic Survival School and suspension levels count points within a 12-month period (36 months for the 24-point level).

What this page does not do
- It does not read your driving record. Only Arizona Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division (ADOT MVD) 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.
