Contrary to popular myth, points remain on your license for a lifetime. However, if your points are spread out over time, the likelihood of a suspended license is lower. The greatest concern for Florida drivers should be avoiding the accumulation of points over a short period of time, such as 12 or 24 months. Still, all of your previous points can be considered in court when determining sentencing for a new case. The more points and convictions you have, the greater chance of a judge assessing points again.
