no concern over the Point System what

that points are assessed againat drivars
convicted of traffic violations. A schsdule
of offenses and points charged for each
appears elsewhere in this advertisement.

A. Tea, the critical levels are daaeribed as
4-7-12, the first two levels offering en-
couragement toward seU-improvament,
the third meaning suspension. It works
like this: A driver with FOUR points
^ IMainst him receives from the Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles an oOieial warn
ing letter; SEVEN' points acainat a
driver means he may be called in by
liceniiing officials for a.diseussioB ef his
