The law of Michigan Vehicle Code assigns a corresponding points to each traffic violation based on the state’s point
system. These points, which are placed on the driving record after the driver is convicted for this moving violation, remains on the driver’s record for two years from the conviction date.
Note that the point system used to your driving record is different from the point system used by insurance companies for determining rate. The point system used by insurance companies is based on the Michigan Insurance laws. We can therefore say that point system varies from one state to another depending on the state’s laws.
According to the auto insurance eligibility fact sheet of the Michigan Financial and Insurance Services, he equivalent point is 3 if you are at-fault by more than 50% in the first accident. The succeeding accidents here you are still at-fault by more than 50% is equivalent to 4.
