pulled over with no lisence - 5 points + fine - where do the points go?

Hey all, first time poster, hopefully someone here can help me out...
I was pulled over in MD for driving without a license, received a fine
plus 5 points, court is in 2 days.
Thing is, I have never had a drivers license in US so... where do the
points go if I am found guilty? Do I even need to go to court or should
I just pay the fine?

Thanks!

Dont worry about it. Just ignore the idiots. 'Guest workers' from Mexico
are not required to have driver licenses or insurance. Rules are for dumb Gringos.

With any luck and justice, into your jail cell with you.

Assuming this isn't a troll . . . the points are against your driving
record. Your driving record is usually accessed by referencing your
driver's license number. If you HAVE no driver's license, the record would
have to be accessed using other information like name, DOB, address, etc.
Points won't be a problem if you never intend to have a driver's license in
the U.S. If you ever DO get a driver's license in the U.S., the points from
your MD driving record might transfer to your new license in another state.
Also, it's possible to have a SUSPENSION on your record, even if you have no
driver's license. Sometimes you can be suspended in multiple states if you
are suspended in one. So rack up too many points in MD with no driver's
license, and it might be IMPOSSIBLE to get a license in any state.

I'd suggest you both get a legal driver's license for the U.S. AND go to
court. If you have a valid license before your court date, the judge might
be more lenient. -Dave

No license, no points. I would guess that at the very least your driving
privileges in MD will be suspended for some time. If the ticket has a fine
on it and says how you can pay, you can just pay and not go to court. If the
ticket says 'must appear in court', then you should go to court. You should
call the court clerk to find out exactly what you can do. Whatever you do,
don't ignore if you plan on spending any time in the US. If you ignore it,
then there will be a bench warrant issued. You don't need to worry about
anyone coming out looking for you, but if you ever get stopped for any reason,
you will probably end up in jail until you go before a judge.

What difference if his driving privliege is suspended? He doesn't
drive with a license to begin with!

I would think the car be confiscated already. How could a cop let
someone without a license and presumably insurance to drive on the road.

Millions of wetbacks drive without US license or insurance and nothing
is done about it. In fact, they are encouraged to continue doing so,
and cops are not allowed to confiscate their vehicles.

The points and any suspension incurred would be applied when you apply
for a license.
