How many points before your license is suspended in Connecticut?

I must have caught a cop on a bad day because I got a ticket for going five mph over the speed limit. How many points can you get before your license is suspended in Connecticut?

Sorry to hear about your traffic ticket, but you should be alright—here are the rules!
In
Connecticut
, if you acquire 10 or more points within two years, you'll face a 30-day
license suspension
. After serving your 30-day suspension, if you receive another 10 points within a 5-year window, your license will be suspended for up to two years.
Traffic violations are assigned a point value of one to five depending on the severity of the offense. For example, speeding is one point, and negligent homicide with a motor vehicle is five points. Check with your local DMV for the complete list.
