Points Suspensions In Arizona DUI Cases
A DUI carries 8-points on your Arizona driving privileges. It doesn't matter what state your license is from. Any time you accumulate between 8 and 12 points, your Arizona driving privileges will be suspended unless you are eligible for and attend traffic survival school. Beware if you are charged with civil traffic offenses in addition to a DUI (commonly referred to as the "back up charges"), because pleading responsible to an infraction may add to your point total and cause an unforeseen suspension.
If you plead guilty or are found guilty of a DUI in Arizona, you should expect to receive a letter (called a "Notice Of Corrective Action") from the Arizona MVD. That letter will tell you that, as a result of your DUI, 8 points has been added to your AZ driving privileges and you must complete Traffic Survival School or your license will be suspended.
