Rule R708-3 - Driver License Point System Administration
Section R708-3-4 - Point Assignment

(1) In compliance with Subsection 53-3-221(4), the division shall determine a number of points to be assigned to each moving traffic violation as a measure of the violation's seriousness.

(2) In compliance with Subsection 53-3-221(4)(c), the driving record of the driver will be assessed 35 points for minimum speeding violations, 55 points for intermediate speeding violations, and 75 points for maximum speeding violations. Since excessive speed has been demonstrated by the National Safety Council and the Department of Public Safety's Utah Traffic Accident Summary to be a leading contributing factor in causing vehicular accidents, the division has determined that the assessing of no points for minimum speeding violations would be detrimental to public safety.

(3) The Driver License Division, Utah Department of Public Safety, shall make available for public review and inspection at the division office, reception desk, 4501 South 2700 West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84130-0560 a listing of the number of points assigned to moving traffic violations and the length of time that the violations remain on the record.

(4) Moving traffic violations which require mandatory sanction by law or rule are assigned 0 points.
