The record for the world's worst driver belongs to a 75-year-old man who received 10 traffic tickets, drove on the wrong side of the road four times, committed four hit-and-run offenses, and caused six accidents, all within 20 minutes on October 15, 1966. 

Depending on the violation, POINTS will remain on your record for 36 months or more! 
One violation per 18-month period may be kept off your public driving record by attending a traffic violator education program. 
TWO-POINT violations will remain on your record for SEVEN YEARS. 

The first speeding ticket ever was given on January 28th, 1896 to Walter Arnold of the United Kingdom who was apprehended by a tough cop on a bicycle who chased his car for exceeding the speed limit by nearly 4 miles per hour. 
The DMV will consider you a NEGLIGENT DRIVER if: 
You receive 4 POINTS in 12 months.
You receive 6 POINTS in 24 months.
You receive 8 POINTS in 36 months.

Drivers of commercial vehicles will receive ONE AND ONE-HALF TIMES the point count for the same violations and will be considered NEGLIGENT drivers if they receive:
6 POINTS in 12 months.
8 POINTS in 24 months.
