Any conviction which resulted from a charge that involved the drinking of alcoholic beverages and the driving of a motor vehicle but did not require mandatory revocation of the driver license - 6 points
reckless driving - 6 points
speeding (85 mph or above) - 5 points
failure to yield right-of-way - 5 points

illegal passing - 4 points
following too closely - 3 points
disregarding traffic control device (stop sign, traffic light, etc.) - 3 points

all other moving violations - 2 points
The following schedule is used to determine the length of a suspension period
12-14 points in a 2-year period 60 days
15-17 points in a 2-year period 90 days
18-20 points in a 2-year period 120 days

for suspension purposes but remains on a driver's record.
