Kentucky Point System

The state uses a point system for Kentucky traffic tickets and

violations to keep track of how well you are driving.

Each traffic violation has points assigned to it, and the more

severe the violation, the more points you will accrue. For example:

• Failure to yield: 3 points

• Following too closely: 4 points

• Passing illegally: 5 points

License Suspension

Your license may be suspended if you accrue:

• 12 points within 2 years

• 7 points within 2 years (if you are under 18)

Out-of-State Drivers

If you are an out-of-state driver and you get a ticket in Kentucky, you can

still be referred to take a Kentucky traffic school course, but the citation

will go to the state in which you are licensed. This also applies if you have

a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
