Good question Kymra.

In Kentucky , you will get 6 points for going 25 mph over the speed limit but for 26mph or over the speed on any highway you will have to attend a hearing and may have your license suspended.

It is a 4 point offense for reckless driving in Kentucky.It is not listed on the KY Division of Driver Licensing (DDL) points system the offense for not using the turn signal but you may check with the Department to see if theres a point associated with it.

The Department of Driver Licensing states that if you accumulate 12 points (7 points if under age 18) within a two year period, your license may be suspended. The motorist will then have to attend a hearing prior to the possible suspension. Your drivers license may be suspended for 6 months if you fail to attend the hearing.

After the hearing, the department may require the motorist to be placed on probation in lieu of suspension and he needs to attend a driver improvement clinic. So its possible that your license will be suspended because of the violations. You may contact the KY Transportation Cabinet to get more information regarding your situation.

Goodluck!
