A DMV hearing is not the same as traffic court

Traffic courts decide citations. Colorado DMV administers the driving record and license restraints. A person may need to address both, depending on the record and notices received.

Matters addressed

  • Point-suspension notices
  • DMV hearing preparation
  • Probationary-license questions
  • Chauffeur-point threshold issues
  • Record and conviction review
  • Reinstatement requirements

Review the complete point history

Colorado DMV publishes different point thresholds based on age and, in defined circumstances, employment as a driver. The hearing officer reviews the record and applicable rules.

  • Conviction dates and point values
  • Driver age during the relevant period
  • Whether employment-driving provisions may apply
  • Any other active restraint

Prepare for the administrative hearing

Keep the notice, motor-vehicle record, proof related to driving employment if relevant, and information about transportation needs. A probationary license is not available in every situation.

  • Read the notice and hearing instructions
  • Confirm the hearing date and format
  • Organize the driving record chronologically
  • Review reinstatement requirements separately
