The state of California uses a mechanism known as NOTS. It is a program that is known to rehabilitate chronic violators of the driving laws in California. NOTS stands for Negligent Operator Treatment System. It consists of a series of computer generated warning letters and sanctions against violators. It affects drivers with age 18 years old and above in California. The actions in this program are based on "negligent operator points" that is being recorded every time period. These are added continuously until it reaches a certain degree which it needs an administrative hearing. Points are being assigned depending on the degree of the offense. It would range from zero to three points.
