- A 8 or more points
- B 15 or more points
- C 20 or more points
- D 12 or more points
Show answer
D. 12 or more points
Each violation adds points to your record, with more serious offenses worth more. When your record reaches 12 or more points, you are told the state intends to suspend your license and you may request a hearing.

A driver's record reaches 15 points. How is the suspension period figured?
- A 7 days for each point over 11
- B 7 days for each point on the record
- C A flat 30-day suspension
- D One month for each point over 12
Show answer
A. 7 days for each point over 11
At 12 points the suspension is 7 days. At 13 points and above, it is 7 days for each point over 11, so 15 points means 4 x 7 = 28 days.

How can a North Dakota driver earn back one point on their record without taking a course?
- A Go three months without any new points recorded
- B Renew the license early
- C Go one year without a traffic stop
- D Pay an extra fee to the Driver License Division
Show answer
A. Go three months without any new points recorded
One point is removed for every three-month period with no points added to your record. Driving safely over time steadily lowers your total.

How many points can you remove by completing an approved driver improvement course such as a defensive driving course?
- A 3 points
- B All points on the record
- C 1 point
- D 5 points
Show answer
A. 3 points
Completing an approved driver improvement course reduces your point total by three. Alternatively, once every 12 months you may take a course instead of receiving points for a violation worth five or fewer points, but not both together.
