What Does It Mean To Be A “Habitual” Traffic Offender?

A habitual traffic offender is one who regularly commits traffic offenses. Many states across the country have actual habitual traffic offender laws on the books. However, there is no such statute in Arizona. Nonetheless, those who regularly receive serious traffic offense convictions can face significant consequences in Arizona.

Arizona operates under a point system, which means that every traffic violation a person gets is awarded a certain number of points. If a person accumulates eight or more points on their record in a 12 month period, their license will be suspended for one year, or the offender will be required to attend Traffic Survival School.

Each moving violation is assigned a point value – typically, more serious offenses are given higher numbers of points. The following list includes common offenses and their associated points:

• Driving Under the Influence – 8 points
• Extreme Driving Under the Influence – 8 points
• Reckless Driving – 8 points
• Aggressive Driving – 8 points
• Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit-and-Run) – 6 points
• Failure to Stop or Yield, Resulting in a Fatality – 6 points
• Failure to Stop or Yield, Resulting in an Injury – 4 points
• Speeding – 3 points
• Driving or Parking in the Gore Area – 3 points
• All Other Moving Violations – 2 points

In order to avoid a one-year license suspension after accumulating eight or more points, a person will need to attend Traffic Survival School (TSS). This TSS requirement is also in place if a person has been convicted of:

• Aggressive driving
• Reckless driving
• Running a red light
• Any moving violation that involves serious injury or death
• Any moving violation committed while the person was 18 years of age or younger
