How Does the Point System Work?

When you commit a traffic violation, points are added to your driving record. The number of points assigned depends on the severity of the offense. For instance, a speeding ticket might result in 2 points, while a more serious offense like driving under the influence could lead to 6 or more points.

Point Accumulation and License Suspension

If you accumulate a certain number of points within a specified period, your license may be suspended. The exact number of points required for suspension varies depending on your driving history and the specific violations committed.

Here's a general breakdown of point accumulation and license suspension:

• 6 points: If you accumulate 6 points within a two-year period, you may be eligible for a driver improvement clinic to reduce the points on your record.
• 10 points: If you accumulate 10 points within a two-year period, your license may be suspended for a specific period.
• 12 or more points: If you accumulate 12 or more points within a two-year period, your license will likely be suspended.

Overcoming Common Challenges in Your Michigan Driver's License Appeal

Regaining your driver's license after a revocation in Michigan requires preparation and a clear understanding of the potential

challenges. Building on our previous discussion, let's explore strategies for overcoming common obstacles:

• Probation and Self-Directed Sobriety: Demonstrate a commitment to sobriety beyond court requirements. Highlight positive milestones, support systems, and steps taken to address the underlying causes of your license loss.
• Open Cases and Responsible Action: If you have pending legal issues, be upfront with your attorney. Work together to demonstrate responsible behavior and a willingness to address these matters head-on.
• Medical Marijuana and Prescriptions: Work with your doctor to document the absolute necessity of any prescriptions. If using medical marijuana, be prepared to discuss its impact on your driving ability and explore alternative treatment options if possible.

The Hidden Hurdles to Restoring Your Driver's License in Michigan

Getting your driver's license back in Michigan after a revocation can feel like an uphill battle. While there are minimum
requirements and paperwork to handle, there are often unexpected roadblocks that can derail your appeal. Dan Geherin and his team see these frustrations every day from applicants who:

• Are Still on Probation: The Secretary of State (SOS) wants to see self-directed sobriety, not court-ordered. Even perfect probationers with long-term abstinence may face skepticism from hearing judges.
• Have Open Criminal or Traffic Cases: These cases often raise concerns about substance abuse or a willingness to drive despite suspension. They can also delay your application.
• Use Medical Marijuana or Prescriptions: Some hearing judges view any substance use, even for medical reasons, as a risk for relapse. The legal marijuana landscape in Michigan adds another layer of complexity.
