How many points before your license is suspended in South Dakota?

I got a DUI last week and I’m really worried about how it will affect me. I know that it’s probably worth a lot of points on my record, but could it make me lose my license?

It’s a good thing to check, for sure! If you earn 15 points in 12 months or 22 points in 24 months, your license will be suspended in
South Dakota
. While a DUI is only worth 10 points, the state is required to revoke your license for this kind of charge.
The revocation will last for up to one year after the conviction. After the end of your revocation period, you’ll need to pay a reinstatement fee before applying for a new license.
A DUI will also have a huge impact on your car insurance. Check out the
