About North Dakota traffic laws
North Dakota's DOT assigns points and reduces them with clean driving, while keeping some of the lowest base fines in the nation. Suspension begins above 12 points, and the state offers a defensive-driving point credit.
How points & your license work in North Dakota
North Dakota adds demerit points to your record on conviction. Speeding adds 1–6 points by severity, and points above 12 trigger a suspension of roughly one day per point over the limit, reduced by clean driving and defensive-driving courses. The North Dakota DOT suspension trigger of 12 points means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
