The department (penndot) takes action after six points. You'll receive a notification that you have to take a special written point examination, testing your knowledge of driving laws.
If you don't pass the test, they'll suspend your license. If you do pass the test, two points will be removed from your record.
If you go above six points again, they can suspend your license for 15 days.
They can also suspend your license for certain types of tickets, such as excessive speed.
Three points are removed from your license for every 12 consecutive months of driving without a violation.

Three to seven years each depending on the type of offense. You need to be careful about getting any new points. Besides costing you a mint in insurance yes they can suspend your license.

Every state has different or a slightly different set of rules when it comes to points on your D.L. A good rule of thumb is this; each year on or near the day a ticket was added to your driving record, half of the points should drop off. The next year, half or what's remaining, will drop off. The third year should clear your record. Each ticket is handled separately. Reckless driving stays for life; DUI, 10 years.
