- A red-light violation results in 2 points to your license.
- As a result, red light violations can have a larger impact on your insurance premiums than a speeding ticket.
- If you are found responsible for a red-light violation, the court will notify the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division. The MVD will then send you a notice requiring you to complete an 8-hour traffic survival school class.
- This class cannot be taken online and must be taken in person, and if you fail to take the class, your license will be suspended.
