Montana Points System

15+ points in any 36-month period = 6-month suspension. 30+ points in 3 years = 3-year revocation. Key values: DUI = 10 pts, leaving accident scene with injury = 8 pts, driving on suspended license = 6 pts, speeding = 3 pts, running a red light or stop sign = 2 pts. Points clear 3 years after conviction.

Speed Limits

Montana's maximum interstate speed limit is 75 mph. Secondary highways typically range from 55-70 mph depending on the corridor. Urban and residential areas are generally 25-35 mph. Montana has a long history of permissive speed frameworks — always obey posted signs, as enforcement is active on major routes.

DUI Laws

DUI threshold: 0.08% BAC. A BAC of 0.16% or higher is aggravated DUI with enhanced mandatory penalties. Under-21 drivers face zero tolerance at 0.02% BAC. Commercial drivers: 0.04%. A fourth DUI within 10 years becomes a felony. Bobby's Law (2025) created aggravated vehicular homicide for DUI-related fatal crashes.

Distracted Driving

Montana is currently the only US state with no statewide ban on texting while driving. There is no Montana law prohibiting handheld phone use for most drivers. Some local jurisdictions have their own ordinances — check your city or county. Regardless of legality, distracted driving sharply increases crash risk on Montana's long open roads.

"Called the Billings court clerk before signing up — they confirmed they'd accept it. Got my speeding ticket dismissed and saved the fine money. The course itself was easy to follow and I actually learned some useful stuff about Montana road safety."

"My Allstate agent mentioned the defensive driving discount and I'd been putting it off for a year. Finally did this course in a couple evenings. Submitted the certificate and got 8% off my premium — paid for itself about five times over in the first year."

"Just moved to Bozeman from out of state and wanted to understand Montana's driving rules before tackling the mountain passes. This course was worth it just for that. Bonus: my insurer gave me a discount too."
