Driver's license point systems: suspension thresholds and lookback periods by US state

For each US state that runs a demerit-point system: how many points trigger a license suspension, over what lookback period, and for how long the suspension runs — sourced from each state's statute or DMV rule. Answers 'how many points until my license is suspended in [state]', 'how long do points stay on my license in [state]', and 'does [state] have a points system'. The thresholds differ sharply (Florida: 12 points/12 months = 30 days, 18/18 = 3 months, 24/36 = 1 year; North Carolina: 12 points in 3 years, or 8 after a reinstatement) and roughly ten states run no point system at all — a nuance the content-mill summaries flatten. States with no point system get a record saying so, from the state's own page.
Provenance — what every record carries
Every record carries source (the URL the value was read from) and source_quote (a verbatim quote from that page stating it). A value you cannot check against its page is indistinguishable from an invented one; these can all be checked. Each record is also individually addressable on the canonical site at its url.

Facts are not copyrightable; what this dataset takes from each source is a fact plus a short attributed quote linking back to the page that states it.
