The Driver License Division tracks points for each conviction. Speeding 10 mph over the limit is 35 points. Reckless driving is 80 points.

Deferred Traffic Prosecution in Cache County
Utah's deferred traffic prosecution program is available through the Utah Courts Deferred Traffic Prosecution portal. Eligible drivers can defer certain traffic violations by paying a fee and avoiding additional violations during the deferral period, typically six months to one year. At the end of the period, if no new violations occurred, the charge is dismissed with no conviction on your record.
The Logan City Justice Court and Cache County Justice Court both handle deferrals for qualifying cases. The First District Court handles deferrals for cases at the district court level. Not every violation qualifies. DUI, fleeing police, and violations by commercial drivers usually do not. Check with the court that has your case to find out if deferral is an option. The online portal at utcourts.gov/deferredtraffic walks you through the steps and lets you apply online in many cases.
