Every moving violation comes with repercussions. Not only does it drain your bank account, but depending on the nature of your infraction, traffic tickets can cause you to lose your license.

North Dakota follows a point system. With every moving violation, points, ranging from 1 to 24, are added to your record. If you accumulate 12 or more points, your license will be suspended and you may be forced to attend treatment for alcohol addiction.

A Sampling of Points

• Allowing an unlicensed minor to drive―2 points

• Ignoring a red light―2 points

• Driving with an open container of an alcoholic beverage―2 points

• Overtaking a school bus―6 points

• Exiting the scene of an accident resulting in injury or death―18 points

Getting traffic tickets will also damage your bank account. Not only must you pay a fine, but depending on the scope of your blunder you may also see your insurance premiums rocket.
