Uses a point system
Montana
Montana assigns conviction points to traffic convictions, and a driver who accumulates 30 or more points within a 3-year period is declared a habitual traffic offender and has the license revoked.
Other consequences
When a single incident leads to two or more convictions, only the conviction carrying the most points counts.
How long points count
Conviction points stay on a Montana driving record for three years from the conviction date; the convictions themselves stay on the record permanently.
Point reduction or driver improvement
The Montana MVD states that completing a defensive driving class does not remove points from a driving record.
