How many points can you have on your license before it is suspended?

  1. 6

  2. 12

  3. 8

  4. 10

The correct answer is: 10

If you have accumulated 6 or more points within a year, the state of New York can suspend your license. However, the maximum amount of points you can have on your license at any given time is 10, not 6 or 8 or 12. This means that once you reach 10 points on your license, it will be suspended regardless of how long it took you to accumulate those points. So while options A and C mention the minimum amount of points that can lead to a suspension, and option B mentions the maximum amount of points over a longer period of time, option D specifies the maximum amount of points at any given time.
