First of all, it’s spelled B-O-L-O-G-N-A. Second, if you have racked up too many tickets, your license will either be suspended or revoked by the DMV. You can apply for a new license at the end of this period, and hopefully you’ve changed your ways by then. Oh, sure, it starts with a few minor traffic violations here and there, but before you know it you’ll be committing grand larceny, bank fraud, and/or treason. We just don’t want to start seeing your name in the paper. Unless it’s for inventing some useful electronic gadget, or winning a peace prize. That would be pretty cool.

Oregon does not use the point system that many other states use, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t keep track of how you’re driving and punish you accordingly. If you accumulate three traffic convictions within an 18-month period, your license will be restricted for 30 days, meaning that you will only be able to drive during certain hours. If you pick up another violation in the subsequent six months, your license will be suspended for 30 days. Each additional infraction during that 24-month period will result in another suspension, so try not to get into too much trouble there, kiddo.

If you’re under 18, the penalties will usually be worse; it could even mean that you don’t get your full, unrestricted license until later than you were hoping.
