If you are a Virginia resident, DMV is responsible for
maintaining a driving record of all convictions received from
the court. When convictions are added to your record, DMV
assigns demerit points to traffic offenses and moving
violations. DMV also monitors your driving record to see how
many demerit points you receive within a 12-month and
24-month period. Convictions may be assigned three, four or
six demerit points. For more information, refer to the
Moving Violations and Points Assessment (DMV 115)
publication available at www.dmvNOW.com or DMV
customer service centers.
