The number of points assessed for a moving violation varies for each state and always depends on the nature of the violation.

If a court has referred a driver to take a Point Reduction course, it is usually due to a moving traffic violation.

You can also attend a Point reduction Program to learn the basic traffic rules, techniques of driving defensively, avoiding road mishaps etc. and become a dexterous driver, of course ticket dismissal and insurance reductions being the added advantages.
