Which of the following violations can lead to points on a driver's record in California?

Speeding is a violation that directly results in points being added to a driver's record in California. The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) assigns points for moving violations, which include speeding, reckless driving, and driving under the influence. Accumulating points on a driving record can lead to consequences such as increased insurance rates and, if a driver accumulates too many points, the potential for license suspension.

On the other hand, parking violations typically do not lead to points on a driver's record, as they are considered non-moving violations. Similarly, issues related to vehicle registration do not impact driving records in terms of points, as they are administrative matters rather than violations of driving laws. Noise complaints also do not apply to driving records, as these are generally related to local ordinances and not traffic violations. Therefore, speeding is the only option that can contribute to an increase in points on a driver’s record.
