Why are major traffic violations like DUI not included on the penalty point chart?

Major traffic violations, such as DUI (Driving Under the Influence), are not included on the penalty point chart primarily because they lead to automatic suspension of the driver's license without the addition of penalty points. This classification reflects the seriousness of such offenses, emphasizing that they pose a significant risk to public safety.

The legal framework surrounding these violations often mandates specific consequences that differ from typical point-based penalties for less severe infractions. In the case of a DUI, the law prescribes immediate and severe repercussions, including the possibility of license suspension, regardless of a point accumulation system. This system is designed to deter dangerous behaviors and ensure that individuals who commit serious traffic violations face appropriate and effective consequences.

While other options may highlight aspects of the treatment of major traffic offenses, they do not capture the core reason for the exclusion from the point chart as effectively as the fact that these violations result in automatic suspension without the application of penalty points.
