When does a driving conviction fall off your record?
I was pulled over about two weeks ago and received a speeding ticket. I know that speeding tickets add points to your license and can increase your insurance rates. How long do I have to wait until a driving conviction falls off my record?

Most speeding tickets should fall off your record between one and five years, depending on your state.
- Alaska
- Arizona
- Maine
- Mississippi
- New Mexico
- Pennsylvania
- Wyoming
At the top of the range is Hawaii, where speeding tickets remain on your record and give you
points
for a whopping 10 years. Speeding tickets can adversely affect your
car insurance
rates. However, after the points go off your record
, you won’t see much (if any) impact on your car insurance as a result of the ticket.Here are some other common driving convictions and the approximate time you can expect them to fall off your record:
- Reckless driving: 10 years
- DUI or DWI: 10 years
- Driving without a license: 5 years
- Failure to appear in court on a traffic case: 5 years
- Driving without car insurance: 3-5 years
Remember that if your car insurance rates go up as a result of a ticket, you can
shop around
for a better rate.MORE: How long does a speeding ticket stay on your record?
