What can result from accumulating too many surchargeable violations within a specified period?

Accumulating too many surchargeable violations within a designated period can lead to a license suspension. In Massachusetts, this is part of a graduated penalty system designed to promote safe driving. When a driver accumulates a specific number of surchargeable violations—those that suggest negligent operation—they may face increased penalties as a method to encourage better driving behavior.

The rationale behind this is to protect public safety by identifying individuals who repeatedly engage in risky or illegal driving behaviors. The suspension is a means of enforcing accountability, as it removes the individual’s ability to legally operate a vehicle, thereby reducing potential hazards on the road.

While increased car insurance rates can occur as a consequence of driving violations, license suspension is a direct administrative action taken by the state. Mandatory vehicle inspections and loss of driving privileges out of state are not typically direct consequences of accumulating too many surchargeable violations in Massachusetts.
