How points & your license work in New Mexico
New Mexico adds demerit points to your record on conviction. Speeding adds 3–6 points by severity, and reaching 12 points in 12 months triggers a one-year suspension, with 7 points bringing a shorter action. The New Mexico MVD suspension trigger of 12 points in 12 months means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
