Does Mississippi use a point system for driver licenses?

Mississippi's administrative code sets a point scale: 40 points within three years bring a 30-day suspension, 45 points 60 days and 50 points 90 days. The published code does not list the points for each violation, and the state's driver manual does not mention points. Three reckless driving convictions in 12 months bring a one-year revocation.

Does a driving course help in Mississippi?

A driver with no traffic conviction in the past three years can take a four-hour traffic safety course for a ticket. The court then dismisses the case, and the ticket does not go on the driving record.

How to check what is on your record in Mississippi

Your Mississippi driving record lists each conviction and suspension. In Mississippi it is called the Motor Vehicle Record (MVR). See the Mississippi driving record page.
