(4) Property damage or personal injury shall not be presumed to have occurred when assessing points for reckless driving violations unless such property damage or personal injury is specifically indicated in the court order or on the abstract of court record by the court.

(c) Any violation that is subject to statutory change shall retain the same point designation until the regulations are amended unless such violation is entirely repealed by the statutory change whereby no points shall be assessed for that violation.

(d) The point value assigned to a violation shall be determined by the point value table in effect on the date the violation was committed.
