Such regulations shall provide that (1) not less than two points shall be assessed for conviction of a violation of subsection (d) of section 14-100a, (2) not more than one point shall be assessed for conviction of a violation of section 14-219, (3) not more than two points shall be assessed for conviction of a violation of section 14-212d, [and] (4) no points shall be assessed for an infraction or any violation specified in subsection (b) of section 51-164n for which the person sends payment of the fine and any additional fees or costs established for such infraction or violation to the Centralized Infractions Bureau in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of section 51-164n, except not less than one point shall be assessed for any violation of section 14-296aa, (5) two points shall be deducted provided the holder passes the knowledge test concerning motor vehicle laws and the rules of the road for a motor vehicle operator's license, and (6) two points shall be deducted provided the holder passes the on-the-road skills test portion of the examination for a motor vehicle operator's license. No holder may receive a two-point deduction pursuant to subdivision (5) or (6) of this section more than one time. If such holder fails the knowledge test or the on-the-road skills test undertaken pursuant to subdivision (5) or (6) of this section, such holder shall take the test again not later than thirty days after such failure. If such holder fails the second knowledge test or the on-the-road skills test or does not take the test again, the commissioner may suspend the motor vehicle operator's license for a period of thirty days. If such regulations provide for participation in a driver improvement course or system for the [owner] holder of an operator's license, the commissioner may charge a fee of fifty dollars for registration for such course or system. |
