What is the consequence of accumulating too many points on your driving record?

Accumulating too many points on your driving record can lead to a possible suspension of your driving privileges because it indicates a pattern of unsafe driving behavior. The Illinois Secretary of State monitors driving records and assigns points for various traffic violations. When a certain threshold of points is reached, it triggers penalties, which may include the suspension of your driver's license for a designated period of time. This measure is in place to promote safety on the roads by encouraging drivers to adhere to traffic laws.

While increased insurance premiums and mandatory driver education courses can also be consequences of having a poor driving record, the direct and immediate consequence of accumulating points is primarily the risk of suspension. Higher registration fees are not typically a direct result of point accumulation on your driving record, making them less relevant in this context.
