How many points before your license is suspended in Arkansas?

I just purchased a brand new Tesla S and had to test it out on the open road! It’s incredible, but unfortunately, my temptation resulted in a speeding ticket. How many points can I get before my license is suspended in Arkansas?

We understand your temptation, but the law is the law.
After accumulating 14 or more
demerit points
within 36 months in
Arkansas
, a hearing will be scheduled to discuss potential consequences for violating the point system, including probation or suspension of driving privileges. Failure to appear at the hearing will result in automatic
license suspension
.
Moving violations vary from three to eight points, depending on the severity of the infraction. Attending a state-sponsored
defensive driving course
can help clear your driving record of a minor traffic citation.
Keep in mind, points will affect your driving record, and
car insurance
providers don’t look kindly upon
traffic citations
—higher points equal higher rates.
But, just because one provider jacks up your rates after a small
speeding ticket
doesn’t mean they all will. The
Jerry
app will compare rates from over 50 insurers and will match you with the provider that fits your situation best! So give it a try today.
