Fines and Points

If you get caught breaking a GDL law, Colorado will add points to your license. Each violation is worth two points—get three violations by the time you turn 18 and you’ll lose your license. Violations also result in fines, community service, and/or loss of your license.

Penalties for seat belt, curfew and passenger restriction violations:

Violation	Fine	Hours of Community Service	License Suspension Points
1st Offense	Minimum $65	8 to 24	2
2nd Offense	Minimum $100	16 to 40	2
Subsequent Offense	Minimum $150	16 to 40	2

For violating the no talk/text law for teen drivers, you’ll be fined 1 point off your license and a $57 fine for the 1st offense, and $107 for subsequent offenses.

Regardless of whether or not you have broken any traffic laws, your parents can pull your license at any time if you’re under 18.
