The Points Ledger
§ 322.27 · ARITHMETIC, NOT PREDICTIONFlorida's point system is a statute, not a mystery: § 322.27(3)(d) assigns the values on conviction, and § 322.27(3)(a)–(c) states exactly when accumulation reaches suspension territory — 12 points in 12 months, 18 in 18, 24 in 36. This page shows the ladder verbatim; the calculator runs its window arithmetic on the convictions you enter from your own record.
This is arithmetic on the convictions YOU entered, inside the statute's own windows. The department's records are what the statute acts on — order your own driving record and enter its conviction dates, because a missed or mis-dated entry changes everything.
The ladder, in the statute's words
- “When a licensee accumulates 12 points within a 12-month period, the period of suspension shall be for not more than 30 days.” — § 322.27(3)(a), Fla. Stat.
- “When a licensee accumulates 18 points, including points upon which suspension action is taken under paragraph (a), within an 18-month period, the suspension shall be for a period of not more than 3 months.” — § 322.27(3)(b), Fla. Stat.
- “When a licensee accumulates 24 points, including points upon which suspension action is taken under paragraphs (a) and (b), within a 36-month period, the suspension shall be for a period of not more than 1 year.” — § 322.27(3)(c), Fla. Stat.
First, get your own record
- ▸The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles publishes how to order your own driving record (flhsmv.gov); county tax collector offices that provide driver-license services commonly issue them as well.
- ▸Records commonly come in different spans (a three-year history, a seven-year history, and a complete record) — the complete record is the one that shows everything the ladder math needs.
- ▸Enter each conviction's date and points exactly as the record shows them; the ledger does the window arithmetic from there.

§ 322.27(3)(d)'s graduated scale assigns the values (2, 3, 4, 6 points by row) — every row is quoted verbatim on the statute pages and inside the decoder.
TrialVector is software, not a law firm, and provides legal information, not legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is formed by using this tool. The software is not an attorney, and conversations with it are not protected by attorney-client privilege. Deadlines shown are arithmetic from the inputs you provide — verify every date with the clerk of the court named on your citation. Nothing here predicts or promises any outcome in any case. Florida citations only — other states are not yet covered, and this tool will say so rather than guess. Reading your ticket happens in your browser; the decision about what to do with it never happens in software.
