If a driver is found driving 1-14 mph over the speed limit, the police then imposes a two points on the person. On the contrary, if the driver is found driving at 15-29 mph over the speed limit, he or she is subjected to a fine of four points and the driver is a 5 point on exceeding the speed limit with a speed of 29 mph over the speed limit. These points keep on adding every time the same driver commits any traffic violations and ultimately the driver ends up getting his or her driving license suspended upon collecting a point of 12 or more.
