Q. I’m an attorney, why should I purchase the chart?
A. Accurately advising clients on traffic ticket consequences usually requires checking Title 75, Sections 1532 (suspensions), 1535 (points and suspensions), 1538 (suspensions), 1539 (suspensions), as well as several other Title 75 sections. And, in the case of DUI laws, research can be even more onerous. The PA Driver Sanctions chart combines nearly all key Pennsylvania Points and Suspension sections (CDL and non-moving violations are excluded) into one resource. Because of its simplicity, it is perfect for courtroom or office use.
Q. I received a traffic ticket or multiple traffic tickets, how does the chart help me?
A. Compare the violation(s) written on lines 24 through 28 of the traffic ticket(s) to the Points Chart (located on front cover) and Suspensions Chart (located on the middle two pages of the chart). If your violation is not listed in the Points or Suspensions sections of the PA Driver Sanctions chart, you have not been charged with a motor vehicle violation that carries Points or Suspensions.* If your violation is contained in the Points or Suspensions sections, you will see the number of Points, or duration of Suspension, that you are facing. *Note: CDL violations under Title 75, Section 1600-1619 and some other violations are not contained in the chart.
Q. I received a DUI, how does the chart help me?
A. The PA Driver Sanctions chart is the perfect summarization of Pennsylvania DUI laws for drivers. Pennsylvania DUI offenses are contained on the back cover of the PA Driver Sanctions chart for easy reference. The DUI section is divided into three easy-to-understand, color-coded “Tiers.” The Tiers represent different BAC levels. The first Tier represents a BAC level of between .08 and .99. The second Tier represents a BAC level of .10 to .159. The third Tier represents a BAC level of .160 and above. Based on the BAC level contained in the police complaint or police report, you will be able to see whether your DUI carries jail time and/or a license suspension. Fines are also listed in the DUI section of the chart.
