How many points before your license is suspended in Maryland?

Can I get a suspended license for a speeding ticket in Maryland? My license recently got suspended but the only type of driving charge I’ve ever gotten is a speeding ticket! Did I get too many license points?

Unfortunately, that could be exactly what’s going on. Once you reach a total of eight license points, your driving license can be suspended in
Maryland
. Once you receive the notice of suspension, you’ll need to turn in your license as soon as possible to avoid an extended sentence.
While a license suspension is definitely no minor issue, your license can be completely revoked if you get 12 or more driving points on your record. Remember that driving points stay on your record for two years, so your record won’t necessarily reset with the new year!
If you have a lot of points on your license, you’ll also probably see significantly higher insurance rates. Check out the
