About Alabama traffic laws
Alabama traffic convictions are recorded by ALEA, and many tickets carry court costs that dwarf the base fine. Municipal courts handle most citations, and procedures vary widely between cities like Birmingham, Montgomery, and Mobile.
How points & your license work in Alabama
Alabama adds demerit points to your record on conviction. Speeding 1–25 mph over is typically 2 points, while reckless driving can add 6; accumulating 12 points in two years triggers a 60-day suspension and rising totals lengthen it. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) suspension trigger of 12–14 points in 2 years means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
