What effect does violating traffic laws typically have on your driving record?

Violating traffic laws typically results in additional points being added to your driving record. In Ohio, the points system is used to monitor and manage driving behavior. When a driver commits certain traffic violations, points are assigned based on the severity of the infraction. Accumulating points can lead to various consequences, such as increased insurance premiums, potential license suspension, or the requirement to attend a remedial driving course. This system serves as a way to encourage safe driving habits and to address hazardous behavior on the road.
