§ 2501. Motor vehicle point system

For the purpose of identifying habitually reckless or negligent drivers and frequent violators of traffic regulations governing the movement of vehicles a uniform system is established assigning demerit points for convictions of violations of this title or of ordinances adopted by local authorities regulating the operation of motor vehicles. Notice of each assessment of points may be given. No points shall be assessed for violating a provision of a statute or municipal ordinance regulating standing, parking, equipment, size, or weight. The conviction report from the court shall be prima facie evidence of the points assessed. The department is also authorized to suspend the license of a driver when the driver's driving record identifies the driver as an habitual offender under section 673a of this title.
