中英文：What are points

11次大中小

A counting system known as points is used by some states to keep track of the number and severity of moving violations of which an individual may be convicted. Upon conviction, the court is required to send a record to the state's department of motor vehicles. Depending on the charge, the person will receive a certain number of points on his or her driving record. The number of points assessed for moving violations varies. For example, a speeding ticket may carry a penalty of two points, while driving with a suspended license could result in a penalty of twelve points. If a person accumulates a set number of points, he or she may lose the right to drive by a license suspension or revocation. Insurance companies also check the number of points on an individual's record and may raise his or her rates if there is a high number of points. You may wish to consult with an attorney about points assessed for a particular moving violation or how to fight a traffic ticket to avoid points on your record.

一些州使用积分计算系统来跟踪了解个人在交通违规事故中所达到的违规次数和严重程度。依据所犯罪行,法庭会给州管理车辆的部门寄达法庭记录。依据此指控,这个违反交通规则的人驾驶记录上将会被记上（所扣）分数。违反交通规则的程度不同所扣分数也不同。比如说,超速驾驶可能被罚2分,然而如果驾驶被吊销执照的车辆可能导致被罚12分的结果。如果个人累计被罚分数达到一定程度,他（她）可能会丧失驾驶的权利（执照被吊销或者被撤销）。保险公司也会检查个人的驾驶纪录,如果被罚分数高,保险公司会提高他（她）的保险费率。你可能希望向律师咨询关于某一具体交通违规如何评估被罚分数或者是希望向律师咨询如何应诉以避免在驾驶记录上被罚分数（通过向律师咨询可以得到更详细的信息）。
