Massachusetts License Suspension Risk

Are you about to
lose your license?

Massachusetts suspends licenses automatically once violations stack up — and paying a ticket counts exactly the same as losing at a hearing. Enter your record below to see which suspension thresholds you're near. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Step 1
Who is the driver?

Junior operators face far harsher, automatic suspensions — a single speeding finding means a 90-day loss of license, a $500 reinstatement fee, mandatory courses, and a full road test again.

Step 2
Your surchargeable events

Add every responsible finding, paid ticket, or at-fault accident from roughly the last 5 years — a ticket you paid counts the same as one you lost. Dates matter: suspensions are triggered by how many land inside a rolling window.

Type of eventDate

Don't trust your memory? Pull the official record.

The most accurate read comes from your actual RMV driving history — it lists every surchargeable event with dates, including ones you've forgotten or out-of-state tickets you didn't know transferred.

1
Order your record
Get your driving history from the RMV: $8 for a personal copy online via Mass.gov / myRMV, or $20 for a true & attested court copy (mailed, ~2 weeks).
2
Paste it in
Copy the text of the record (or the violation list) and paste it below. We scan it for dated violations and build your event list automatically.
3
Review & analyze
Check the events it found, fix anything, and your suspension risk updates instantly on the right.

Automated text scan — it matches keywords and dates and may miss or misclassify entries. Always confirm against the actual record. Nothing you paste leaves your browser.

This analyzer is a free educational tool, not legal advice and not an official RMV determination. It applies Massachusetts suspension rules administered by the RMV and Merit Rating Board (G.L. c. 90 § 20 and related regulations) to the events you enter, and to dates only as you provide them. Suspension thresholds use rolling time windows and can be affected by out-of-state violations, criminal dispositions, prior suspensions, and RMV discretion that this tool cannot see. A “surchargeable event” includes both responsible traffic findings and tickets you simply paid. For a binding picture, order your official driving record and consult a licensed Massachusetts attorney before acting. Junior-operator suspensions must be served to completion even after turning 18 and are generally not eligible for an RMV hardship license — only the Board of Appeal may shorten them. Using this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship, which forms only on a signed limited-scope engagement.
