What actions can lead to points on your driving record?

Points can be added to your driving record for various traffic violations that indicate unsafe driving behaviors. Violations such as speeding, reckless driving, and running a red light are considered serious infractions because they demonstrate a disregard for traffic laws and can significantly increase the risk of accidents. Each of these violations typically carries a specific point value, which accumulates on your driving record, potentially leading to increased insurance premiums and penalties, including license suspension if too many points are accrued.

Other actions, while potentially problematic, may not attract points in the same way. For instance, DUI violations, although serious, may be classified differently and have more severe consequences than minor infractions. Parking in a no-parking zone and failing to turn on headlights generally result in citations that might incur fines but are less likely to affect points on your driving record. Thus, the option highlighting violations like speeding and reckless driving is the most accurate representation of actions that specifically lead to points assessed against a driver's record.
