Some Virginia driving law violations that do not carry demerit points. Though DMV also records these violations, they are not listed here.

Traffic convictions in other states will also incur demerit points.

If your license is revoked, suspended, disqualified or cancelled, your convictions could remain on record even longer than listed in these charts.
