How are calculated points credited after the first 12 months from the date of violation?
At full point value
At three-quarter point value
At one-half point value
No points are credited
The correct answer is: At one-half point value
In the context of Delaware's point system for driving violations, after the first 12 months from the date of a violation, any points that were initially assessed are credited at one-half point value. This means that if you have a violation that originally carried a higher point value, after a year, the impact of that violation on your driving record is reduced to half. This system is designed to encourage safe driving behavior over time, allowing drivers a chance to improve their records if they maintain a clean driving history following a violation. Understanding this point structure is important for drivers to manage their records and reduce potential penalties associated with accumulating too many points.
