In Maryland, a repeat traffic offender is generally defined as a driver who accumulates a certain number of points on their driving record within a specified period, triggering enhanced penalties under Md. Code, Transportation Art. § 27-101 (point system). The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) administers this system, where 8 points triggers a mandatory hearing and 12 points results in license revocation. Being designated as a repeat offender can lead to longer suspensions, higher fines, mandatory driver improvement programs, and even jail time for subsequent offenses.
