Mississippi's No Point System
Many states have a point system to penalize bad drivers. Depending on the severity of their infraction, each violation racks up points on their driving record. After accumulating so many points, these drivers risk high insurance premiums and even the suspension or loss of their driving privileges. However, in Mississippi, no such point system exists.

This does not mean that traffic violators get off scot-free. Each ticket issued to a driver goes on his/her driving record, accessible to potential employers and to the insurance company. If you fail to pay traffic tickets within the required time period, your license will be suspended. And reinstatement of the license is costly. The suspension fee alone costs $285.50, plus you'll get slapped with a $25 reinstatement fee in addition to the cost of the ticket itself. Most likely, your insurance rates will also increase.
