(1) Upon receiving notice of a court conviction of a moving traffic violation, the division will post the violation to the driving record of the individual convicted, along with the points assigned to the violation, as designated in the code violation table.
(2) The division will use the following point thresholds to determine the severity of the sanction to be levied against the driver:
(a) 150 to 199 points: driver is sent a warning letter;
(b) 200 points: driver must appear for a hearing;
(c) 200 to 299 points: driver may be placed on probation or suspended for three months;

(e) 400 to 599 points: driver is suspended for 6 months; and
(f) 600 or more points: driver is suspended for 1 year.
(3) A driver who is within a designated threshold may be considered for action at a lower threshold if completion of the defensive driving course has lowered the point total to that lower threshold.
(4) The suspension time is doubled, up to a maximum of one year, for a second or subsequent suspension within a three year period.
