§ 1539. Suspension of operating privilege
on accumulation of points

    (a) GENERAL RULE.-- When any person's record shows an accumulation of 11 points or more, the department shall suspend the operating privilege of the person as provided in subsection (b).

   (b) DURATION OF SUSPENSION.-- The first suspension shall be for a period of 5 days for each point, the second suspension shall be for a period of 10 days for each point, the third suspension shall be for a period of 15 days for each point and any subsequent suspension shall be for a period of one year.

   (c) DETERMINATION OF SUBSEQUENT SUSPENSIONS.-- Every suspension and revocation under any provision of this subchapter shall be counted in determining whether a suspension is a second, third or subsequent suspension. Acceptance of Accelerative Rehabilitative Disposition for an offense enumerated in section 1532 (relating to revocation or suspension of operating privilege) or 3802 (relating to driving under influence of alcohol or controlled substance) shall be considered a suspension in making such determination.

   (d) SECTION NOT EXCLUSIVE.-- Suspension under this section is in addition to any suspension mandated under section 1535 (relating to schedule of convictions and points).

Traffic Court is a serious matter, and a conviction for a violation can result in fines, costs, insurance premium increases, license suspension, and even jail time.
