No, Kansas Doesn’t Have Points…

Instead, Kansas uses a “Habitual Driver” statute to regulate dangerous drivers. I like to think of this as a three-strikes law. Namely if you have three or more of the following convictions in five years, you will loose your license for three years:

• Driving while suspended or revoked
• Driving without insurance
• DUI – including DUI diversion
• Other serious offenses, as described in K.S.A. §8-285

3 Stikes for Moving Violations                                                                           Just like the Habitual Driver Statute, Kansas employs a three-strikes rule for simple moving violations.  If you have three or more convictions of the following in a three year period, you will loose your license for one year:

• Speeding
• Failure to obey a traffic signal
• Driving without license in possession
• Other offenses described in K.A.R. §92-52-9.  See also K.S.A. §8-255

Of course, hiring a lawyer can help you keep a moving violation off of your record.  Happy driving!
