(2) The division will use the following point thresholds to determine the severity of the sanction to be levied against the driver:

(a) 150 to 199 points: driver is sent a warning letter;

(b) 200 points: driver must appear for a hearing;

(c) 200 to 299 points: driver may be placed on probation or suspended for three months;

(3) A driver who is within a designated threshold may be considered for action at a lower threshold if completion of the defensive driving course has lowered the point total to that lower threshold.
