I constantly hear about the PA points system being difficult to understand. I get it! Quick simple outline of when to expect suspension and how many points you can get. They also link to a chart that explains in a bit more detail about everything that can cause points on your license.
The big takeaways are that 6 points is your first worry. Once you hit that 6 point mark you can get suspension time and be required to take a points test. The points test will remove a few points and prevent suspension, but only if you are below 11 points. Once you hit 6 points a second time, according to the Pennsylvania vehicle code, you can expect suspension time. Anything from a few days to a few months for the first time crossing the 6 point mark. At the 11 point threshold you can expect a special points hearing, and the hearing officer will decide what type of penalty you have earned. Most of the time is it suspension for crossing 11 points in Pennsylvania.
