Points are given for moving violations, such as speeding, running a stop sign. No points are given for nonmoving violations, such as parking tickets. The number of points varies according to the severity of the infraction. Points stay on your record for a specified period of time, such as in Pennsylvania, one point is removed every 12 months you drive without acquiring any more points. If you get a certain number of points, you will need to prove your eligibility to drive by either written test or driving test. There may be courses offered in defensive driving which could reduce the points earlier. Auto insurance companies use the number of points on your driving record to determine cost of insurance, i.e., more points, more cost because you are more of a risk. Hope this helps.
