Oregon License Suspension Rules

Oregon does not assign numerical points. The DMV runs the **Driver Improvement Program (DIP)**: an administrative scheme that counts moving-violation convictions and at-fault crashes within a rolling lookback window. DUII and other serious criminal offenses produce **direct license action** independent of DIP (ORS 809.310, 809.428). Reckless driving counts toward the DIP conviction total; it can also trigger a presumptive 90-day suspension under ORS 809.410 when the conviction involved injury or aggravating circumstances.

The administrative-suspension trigger for an adult driver is **4 convictions for moving violations within 24 consecutive months** (Driver Improvement Program). Earlier-stage warnings and probationary actions occur at **3 convictions** or **1 at-fault crash + 2 convictions** within 18 months. Minor drivers face faster escalation; even a single Class A traffic violation or a single at-fault crash can trigger DIP action.

Lookback for the adult-DIP suspension trigger is **24 consecutive months**. Warning-letter and probationary thresholds use an 18-month lookback. Minor (under-18) DIP rules use the same windows but with stricter conviction-count triggers.

**Direct license action: bypasses the DIP count.** A DUII conviction (ORS 813.010) triggers a minimum **1-year suspension** on a first conviction, with longer terms for repeats (3 years for a second conviction within 5 years of the prior, ORS 809.428; permanent revocation on a third or subsequent conviction in any combination with no time limit on the priors, ORS 809.235(1)(b); restoration only by discretionary court petition no sooner than 10 years after sentencing or release). The DUII action is independent of the Driver Improvement Program and does not require any other moving-violation count.

**Counts toward the DIP conviction total.** Reckless driving (ORS 811.140) is a Class A misdemeanor and counts as one conviction in the 24-month DIP lookback. Reckless driving can also independently trigger a presumptive 90-day suspension under ORS 809.410 if the conviction involved injury or aggravating circumstances.

**Counts toward the DIP conviction total.** Speeding 30+ mph over the posted limit is a Class A traffic violation and counts as one conviction in the 24-month DIP lookback. A separate **racing on a highway** charge (ORS 811.125) carries its own immediate suspension consequences. Speeds dramatically above the posted limit can also trigger reckless driving charges, which carry the additional consequences described in the reckless-driving section.
