How does one determine how many "points" they have? Insurance companies often ask these things. I'm in California.
You get no points if they are not facing you when you strike them.

If you're in doubt, ordering a driving record could save you money and your driving privileges. For example, most states allow a certain number of points on a license. Exceeding this total, in most instances, will result in a suspended drivers license. If you're aware you're within say one or two points of topping your state's designated total, you can then take preventive actions. Besides driving within the rules, you can see if your state recognizes enrollment in a traffic school course as a means of reducing license point totals.
Otherwise, if you accrue excessive points on license, you'll face numerous penalties. In addition to the inconvenience of a suspended license, your wallet will also take a hit in eventual reinstatement fees and higher insurance premiums.
You can order a driving record from one of many online sources. Provided you own a credit card, you can order and a receive a report within minutes.
OK...so...what website?

To get a copy of your record, go in person to any California DMV office, fill out a Request for Your Own Driver License Record, bring proof of your identity, and pay the $5 application fee.
To get your record through the mail, send the Request for Your Own Driver License Record and $5 (check or money order) to:
Department of Motor VehiclesOffice of Information ServicesPublic Operations Unit G199P. O. Box 944247Sacramento, CA 94244-2470

That's not over the internet within minutes.
