Under the Kentucky traffic laws point system, the
Transportation Cabinet, Division of Driver Licensing,
keeps a record of all moving traffic violations on each
driver. These records are based on reports of traffic
convictions, forfeiture of bail, or payment of fine, with
or without court appearances, which are forwarded to the
Division of Driver Licensing by the courts throughout the
United States.
Assignment of point value to various offenses of Kentucky
driving law is made to impress upon drivers that their
records are being watched, and unless they comply with
Kentucky traffic laws, they may develop a bad driving
record, leading to the suspension of their license.
Under Kentucky driving law, any driver accumulating as
many as six (6) points may receive a form letter from the
Division of Driver Licensing advising him that immediate
action should be taken to improve his driving.
The driver may be required to appear for an interview
with a representative of the Cabinet to determine his
real driving problems.
At this interview, the Transportation Cabinet
representative attempts to determine if participation in
a State Traffic School program would benefit the driver.
In accordance with Kentucky traffic laws, if he fails to
appear for the interview, his driving privilege shall be
suspended for a period of six (6) months.
Accumulation of
Points
Under Kentucky driving law, if a person of eighteen or
more years accumulates six or more points within a
two-year period, the Transportation Cabinet may send a
letter that shall advise him of the number of penalty
points on his driving history record, and shall inform
him of the penalties which may be imposed if he were to
accumulate twelve points within two years.
Under Kentucky driving law, if a person of eighteen or
more years accumulates twelve points within a period of
two years, or a person less than eighteen accumulates
more than six points in a period of two years, the
Cabinet may suspend the driving privilege for a period of
six months for the first accumulation of points, one year
for the second accumulation of points, and two years for
any subsequent accumulation of points within a two-year
period.
