"Minor Traffic Violations" 12 or more convictions within a 5 year period of offenses which are required by any provision of law to be reported to the RMV and for which the RMV is authorized or required to suspend or revoke the person’s license or right to operate motor vehicles for a period of 30 days or more, including convictions of the offenses listed above.

Habitual Traffic Offender Hearings at the RMV are generally limited to the accuracy of the driving record and the question of whether the driver qualifies, by law, as a Habitual Traffic Offender. If the driving record is accurate and the person qualifies as a Habitual Traffic Offender by law, the Registry MUST suspend the person's license for a period of 4 years.

The RMV has complete discretion regarding whether or not to issue a hardship license. Skilled legal representation at this hearing can make the difference between getting back on the road or suffering for 3 more years with a revoked license. Contact a Suspended License Lawyer if you have questions regarding the Habitual Traffic Offender law.

If your license is suspended because of the Massachusetts Habitual Traffic Offender Law, you should not operate a vehicle. The Registry will not issue you a hardship license if there is any evidence of operation. If this happens, you will have to go to the Board of Appeal for a hardship license.

The Board takes a very dim view of Operating After Suspension charges, even when they do not result in a conviction. If you need help with a Mass. Habitual Traffic Offender Suspension, contact us today. You generally must serve at least one (1) year of the HTO suspension before you can be considered for a hardship license. The Registry holds everyone to this requirement. In cases of extreme hardship, the Board of Appeal may grant you a license sooner than one year from your suspension date.

If you commit additional violations after being suspended as a habitual traffic offender, your license may be suspended again for another 4 years. This will keep happening until the older offenses drop out of the rolling HTO look-back period.
