An unfit driver may have their driving privileges suspended by the Motor Vehicle Administration based on what criteria?

The criteria for suspending driving privileges due to an unfit driver is primarily based on the accumulation of points. In Maryland, the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) uses a point system to monitor driving behavior. When a driver commits traffic violations, points are added to their driving record. If a driver accumulates a certain number of points within a specified period, it indicates a pattern of unsafe driving, which can result in suspension of their driving privileges. This system is designed to enhance road safety by identifying individuals who may pose a risk to themselves and others on the road.

While the number of accidents, driving speed, and type of vehicle can contribute to a driver's overall safety evaluation, they do not directly correlate to the point accumulation system that leads to potential suspension of driving rights. The focus on points makes it a clear and quantifiable measure for assessing driving fitness.
