Each additional at-fault accident after the first carries how many points?

• A. 2 points
• B. 3 points
• C. 4 points
• D. 5 points

Answer: (C)

In Michigan’s driver-violation point system, an at-fault accident adds a fixed number of points to a driver’s record, and that amount applies to each occurrence. Specifically, every at-fault accident adds 4 points, so each additional accident after the first increases the points by 4. This means two at-fault accidents would add 8 points, three would add 12 points, and so on. The point totals help determine consequences like license suspensions or required remedial actions. The other numbers don’t fit because the standard per-occurrence point value for an at-fault accident is 4.
