Getting points on your license is not something you want to do. It can lead to higher insurance costs and possible license suspension. A point on your license is like getting a demerit for a traffic infraction and depending how how serious the infraction, you will get anywhere from 2 to 6 points. If you get 15 points within 2 years, your license will be suspended.
