Nebraska Driver’s License Point System
2.1 Understanding Nebraska DMV Points
The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) uses a point system to track traffic violations. Points remain on your driving record for 2 years from the violation date. Different violations carry different point values, with more serious offenses resulting in higher point assessments.
| Violation Description | Nebraska Statute | Points Assessed | Fine Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speeding 1-10 mph over limit | §60-6,186 | 1 point | $25 – $75 |
| Speeding 11-15 mph over limit | §60-6,186 | 2 points | $75 – $150 |
| Speeding 16-20 mph over limit | §60-6,186 | 3 points | $100 – $200 |
| Failure to stop at stop sign | §60-6,150 | 3 points | $50 – $100 |
| Running red light | §60-6,119 | 3 points | $75 – $150 |
| Careless driving | §60-6,212 | 3 points | $100 – $200 |
| Reckless driving | §60-6,214 | 6 points | $200 – $500 |
| No proof of insurance | §60-5,239 | 1 point | $50 – $500 |
2.2 License Suspension Thresholds
Nebraska has strict thresholds for license suspension based on accumulated points:
| Points Accumulated | Time Period | Consequence | Reinstatement Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6-11 points | 2 years | Warning letter from DMV | No action required |
| 12 points | 2 years | 6-month license suspension | Reinstatement fee + proof of insurance |
| 15 points | 2 years | 1-year license suspension | Reinstatement fee + SR-22 filing |
| 18+ points | 2 years | 2-year license revocation | New license application + hearing |
