What happens if you have seven surchargeable events within a three-year period?

If you have seven surchargeable events within a three-year period, your license is automatically suspended for 60 days. This is part of Massachusetts' policy to ensure that drivers are held accountable for their driving record.

The concept of "surchargeable events" refers to certain moving violations and at-fault accidents that can affect your insurance rates and signal dangerous driving behavior. Accumulating seven such events in a relatively short timeframe indicates a pattern of risky driving and can lead to the suspension to promote safer driving practices.

While other choices may refer to actions a driver could face in different circumstances, such as defensive driving courses being recommended for some violations or warnings issued for lesser infractions, the automatic suspension for 60 days specifically addresses the severity implied by accumulating seven events. This policy aims to encourage drivers to take their responsibilities seriously and improve their behavior on the road.
