"A point system is one in which a driver's licensing authority issues demerits, or points to drivers on conviction for road traffic offenses. Points may either be added or subtracted, depending on the particular system in use. A major offense may lead to more than the maximum allowed points being issued, but more typically, the accumulation (or loss) of too many points over a given period or time can lead to additional penalties, including fines and suspension or revocation of the driver's license. The primary purpose of such point systems is to identify and deter repeat offenders of traffic laws, whilst also streamlining the legal process." From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_system Specific point levels and penalties are dependant on the state/country you are in. Check with your local driver's licensing authority.

Im assuming insituations like this the punishment is suited to the crime. I got my license suspended for 2 months within my first 30 days of receiving it.
