How Driver Points Work in Mississippi
How the Mississippi point system works, points for speeding, how long points last, and whether traffic school helps.
Short answer: Some courts allow drivers to attend 'defensive driving school' or another class to keep a citation from appearing on the driving record. Mississippi DPS Driver Service Bureau, Frequently Asked Questions (Aug. 2025)
| Traffic school | Some courts allow drivers to attend 'defensive driving school' or another class to keep a citation from appearing on the driving record. This is not available to holders of a commercial driver's license or commercial learner's permit, because federal and state law prohibit deferring judgments of driving offenses for CDL/CLP holders. Eligibility for non-CDL drivers is up to the court; no statewide rules were verified. |
