Attending Traffic School

No, you cannot speed up the process of clearing your driving record. However, if you’ve just received a moving violation, some states will dismiss the citation from your driving record after you complete traffic school. You might need to be ordered to do this by the judge, or request the option from the court; not all states have this option automatically.

A driving record is intended to be a comprehensive history of your driving. State Departments of Motor Vehicles, which maintain driving records, are not interested in helping you clear your driving record in a hurry. On the contrary, they maintain citations and driving-related convictions anywhere from three to ten years, depending upon the severity of the violation. So there really is no way to speed up the process of clearing your driving record, other than attending traffic school, if allowed by the state.

Fixing Bad Information

Other than that, the only way to remove negative items from your driving record is in cases where the information is erroneous or inaccurate. You will probably need to appear in court with proof of why the record is erroneous; states vary on their policies.

While you can’t speed up the process of clearing your driving record, you can learn what is on your record and find out how long it will be before each item will disappear. So order your driving record online today and find out what’s in your record.
