Minnesota Traffic Ticket Points

Minnesota does not have an official traffic ticket “point system”. However, traffic tickets in Minnesota still have consequences.

A Minnesota driver license will be suspended for various lengths of time for convictions of multiple moving violations. The length of the suspension depends on how many convictions are on record during certain time periods. This takes into account convictions for all moving violations except those traffic laws specifically excluded from the driving record by statute. Thus, too many convictions can lead to license issues whether said convictions do or do not officially add points to a driving record.

Moreover, whether Minnesota does or does not attach a specific point value to your driving record is completely irrelevant to your automobile insurance company. Your insurer has its own internal way of determining how much of a risk you are to insure and you can be certain that insurance companies will adjust rates accordingly.

Teen Drivers in Minnesota*

Statistics show that the leading cause of death in Minnesota's 15-17 year olds is traffic crashes. With that in mind, teen drivers should pay particular attention to the following top six driving risk factors for teens:

• Inattentiveness - Driver inattention/distraction is the most common contributing factor in multiple vehicle crashes
• Excessive speed - Illegal/unsafe speed is the most common contributing factor in single vehicle crashes for drivers. Teens particularly have difficulty adjusting speed to driving conditions.
• Failure to wear a safety belt - Properly wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger occupants by 45% in a car and 60% in a light truck.
• Fatigue - A person who has been awake for 24 hours, experiences impairment nearly equal to a blood alcohol concentration of .10%. And, teens often don't get enough sleep.
• Not checking traffic before pulling out - Most crashes involving teens occur at intersections because of their inexperience judging distance and speed.
• Driving with other teens - The presence of passengers strongly increased crash risk. For teen drivers, the more passengers the greater the risk.
