Points against your driver’s license make up the core of a demerit point system in which the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), issues points for traffic violations in an effort to penalize repeat offenders of traffic laws. Each violation is worth a certain number of points, with more serious offenses worth more points than lesser offenses.
The Maryland MVA can impose penalties for accumulating too many points within a two-year period. Ultimately, you may be required to attend driver improvement courses or you may face a license suspension or revocation, depending on the severity of your driving record.
