How points & your license work in West Virginia
West Virginia adds demerit points to your record on conviction. Speeding adds 3–6 points by severity, and 12–13 points triggers a 30-day West Virginia suspension that lengthens as points climb toward 20+. The West Virginia DMV suspension trigger of 12 points means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
