The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) maintains a driving record for every licensed motorist in Pennsylvania and points are added to this driving record when a motorist is found guilty of certain driving traffic violations.
Upon the 1st accumulation of six points, a motorist will receive a written notice to take special written point examination. The motorist has thirty days to successfully pass the exam otherwise the license will be suspended until the exam is passed. If the exam is passed within the thirty days, two points will be removed from the driving record.
If the motorist is under the age of eighteen the rules are different. PennDOT will suspend the drivers license when the motorist accumulate only six points or are convicted of driving 26 or more mph over the posted speed limit.
Is Your License Suspended And Now Need An SR22?
Q: What is SR22? Is there a reason for suspension for why my license may need to be reinstated?
A: SR22 insurance more than a kind of proof of insurance you need to file after you license has been suspended? There are quite a few ways for this to happen, and one common way is the accumulation of points. Points are added to your driving record whenever you get a ticket, and if you get around six points, then your license will be suspended.
If you have been driving thirty one miles + over the speed limit of a certain stretch of road, and after being pulled over and given a ticket, you don’t show up for your court date, you may also have your license suspended, and SR22 is what you will have to file.
Two more reasons you may be required to file SR22 after a license suspension: if you are convicted of driving under the influence (this will depend on several factors, such as your blood alcohol level and your record), if you have been caught driving uninsured, or if you have, when a school bus as stopped and had its flashing lights and stop signs out, you went past it anyway.
