For speeding 10-16 mph over the limit, how many points are assigned?

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

Answer: (B)

Moving violations carry demerit points that reflect risk, and speeding is categorized by how far over the limit you were going. For a speeding offense where you are 10 to 16 mph over the limit, three demerit points are assigned. This band represents a moderate excess over the limit: not the smallest overage, but not the most severe speeding category either. The point schedule uses this middle amount to scale penalties with how risky the speed was. Keep in mind that accumulating points can affect your license status and insurance, depending on the rules in your jurisdiction and the time period considered.
