How long do moving violations stay on your record?

My cousin was cited for a moving violation two years ago, and he’s still complaining about his insurance costs—how long do they stay on your driving record?

A moving violation is never ideal for insurance rates, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel! How long a moving violation stays on your record depends on the state and the offense.
For example, a speeding ticket in California disappears from your driving record after 39 months, but one in
Virginia
could be on your record for five years. Some states maintain records of driving infractions forever.
More serious moving violations such as a DUI, reckless driving, stunt driving, or vehicular homicide may stay on your record forever and will likely result in more severe consequences. A DUI conviction remains on your driving record for ten years in New York and 75 years in Florida.
