Violations and Driving Records
It varies by state, but usually minor offenses, like stop sign violations, appear on your driving record for three years, while speeding violations are maintained from five to seven years.Your driving record contains a complete list of citations you’ve received anywhere in the country.
The length of time a citation appears on your record is determined by individual state law. But as is the case with many state laws, there is a great deal of uniformity with how long citations remain on your driving record.
- Usually minor violations of driving laws carry with them a one- or two-point penalty and will appear on your driving record from three to seven years.
- Major violations and convictions like DUI remain on your driving record for up to ten years.
- Keep in mind that most states will allow you to attend traffic school in order to dismiss a minor traffic violation from your record, as long as you haven’t recently attended traffic school for another offense.
