State Policies
As driving records are maintained by each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles, policies on driving records do change from state-to-state in terms of how severe each violation is considered and how long it remains on your driving record.
Although computer records allow all states to share information on each person’s driving history, the manner in which driving records are maintained is at the discretion of each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. As with most state laws today, there is a great deal of uniformity among states in terms of how they administer driving records.
In most states, for example, minor infractions like stop sign violations incur a single point and appear on a driving record for three years. Speeding is generally maintained on your record from five to seven years. And serious convictions, like DUIs, remain on your driving record for up to ten years in most states.
Viewing Your Driving Record
You can view your state’s individual policies on driving records online if you wish. In addition, you can order a copy of your driving record to find out what’s in your driving history. Ordering your driving record online is safe and easy and much more convenient than ordering through the DMV.
