About Massachusetts traffic laws
Massachusetts ties tickets directly to insurance through the Safe Driver Insurance Plan (SDIP), where each surchargeable event raises your premium for years. The RMV also suspends for three speeding convictions in 12 months.
How points & your license work in Massachusetts
Massachusetts adds demerit points to your record on conviction. Instead of classic license points, each at-fault incident or moving violation is a 'surchargeable event' under SDIP that drives up premiums, and three speeding convictions in a year means a 30-day suspension. The Massachusetts RMV suspension trigger of Surchargeable events (SDIP) means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
