How many license points does the DMV add to your record for speeding 1 to 10 mph over the posted limit?
-
A.
2 points
-
B.
4 points
-
C.
5 points
-
D.
3 points Correct
The answer is "3 points"
Speeding 1 to 10 mph over the posted limit adds 3 points to your record. The 4-point answer in B comes from reading one row lower in the point table, where the 11 to 20 mph tier lives.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 2 points
The chart lists 3 points, not 2, for the lowest speeding tier. This answer applies the 'most other moving violations' value to a specific speeding line.
B. 4 points
4 points is the next tier up, 11 to 20 mph over, not the lowest. This answer reads one row lower in the point chart than the tier the question names.
C. 5 points
5 points is not what the chart assigns to any general speeding tier. This answer carries over the reckless-driving or speed-contest value listed on the same manual page.
