Point Level -?-

wrote:
This may not apply to all jurisdictions, but when a police dispatcher
comes back with license information, they conclude by stating "Point
Level" with a #.

It's usually 0, sometimes 1, rarely 2, only once had I ever heard a 3,
and never a 4. I'm assuming of course that the higher the number, the
less flattering a motorist appears to the traffic cop(s) hassling one.
I've tried to reason it out based on level of violations, but even the
most egregious records can have a 0.

What IS the Point Level, what bearing does it have on a driving
record, what factors determine the # associated with it, and what does
it tell the cop?

Locally (to me anyway) it means the number of points currently on the
drivers license. A traffic infraction may be 1 or 2 points. Speeding or
careless driving may be 2 points, whereas reckless driving at high speed
may net 3 points or more.
In NJ I often hear "1 in the box" or "2 in the box" as reported from the
dispatcher. This tell the patrolman that the driver already has a
violation on record.
Points in NJ equal big money. 2 points may cause a surcharge on your
insurance of about $1000 a year for 3 years. This is some serious coin.

Hope that helps,

"0 in the box" ..... fingers crossed!

Is anyone using DRM on shortwave as a 'point to point audio feeder', as opposed to (companded) SSB as is customary...?	Max Power	Shortwave	1	January 18th 06 04:45 AM
