Driver's license points suspension

Adult Colorado drivers accumulating 12 points in one or 18 in two years will get up to a one year  suspension notice from the state.  Carefully review CRS 42-2-127 for particulars and exceptions.  

Make sure timely to request the hearing you're entitled to, as you may be eligible for a probationary license, or a shorter suspension.  Last checked the phone number was 303-205-5606.

Also, because the rules and statutes change often, you never know what may come out of the hearing.  Have your lawyer attend with you.  Most everything with DMV is virtual, including the hearings.

The hearing officer may ask you questions under oath so be prepared, including whether you've been driving when you weren't supposed to be.  The hearing officer is looking for aggravating and mitigating factors to determine the suspension and terms.  Good behavior, completing requirements, and employment, education and health needs, usually are relevant.

The hearing officer will send out a written order, which is appealable.
