1. How many demerit points within a 12-month period leads to a Wisconsin driver's license being suspended or revoked?
Why: A Wisconsin driving record starts at zero, and accumulating 12 or more demerit points within any 12-month period results in the driver's privilege being suspended or revoked.
2. What happens to the demerit points a Wisconsin probationary license holder receives for a traffic conviction?
Why: Wisconsin doubles the demerit points received by a probationary license holder, an ID card holder, or someone with no license at all -- and doubles them again on the second qualifying conviction and every one after that.
3. How does Wisconsin define a "habitual traffic offender," and how long is their driving privilege revoked?
Why: Wisconsin defines a habitual traffic offender as someone convicted of four or more major traffic violations, or 12 or more minor violations, within five years; their driving privilege is revoked for five years, with occupational-license eligibility only after a two-year wait.
4. How many hours a day and hours a week does a Wisconsin occupational license allow a driver to drive?
Why: A Wisconsin occupational license permits driving up to 12 hours a day and up to 60 hours a week, to and from work, school, and other household needs -- including trips required for an Intoxicated Driver Program (IDP) assessment and Driver Safety Plan (DSP).
