How long does it take for a ticket to come off of your record?

In most states, your permanent driving record is just what it says...."permanent". \n\nThe Department of Motor Vehicles in most states maintains your driving record from day 1 to present.\n\nWhen an employer or insurance company requests an "abstract" of your record, such a report will include activity only for the past 3 years.\n\nTo be sure of how your state handles this, contact the Motor Vehicle Division, Bureau of Driver Licensing.

this has happened to me several times.  sigh.  sometimes, the officer has taken the driver's license number I've memorized and will 'run it' and see it's me.  another time, i've gotten a ticket.  with the ticket, i had to go to court and show my license, which resulted in dismissal.  (I think because I was there in business attire and spoke out loud and respectfully to the judge.)

You have a 50-50 chance if you just show up for court, because most likely the officer who wrote the ticket won't.  Another route is to request the radar gun's accuracy record (legaly the police have to send you a copy of the radar gun which "caught you").  If there have been problems or many occurences for radar gun repair, then I would guess the judge would dismiss the case.

I have heard that most tickets have a better chance of being reduced or trown out by fighting it through the mail.  Don't know if it works with speeding, but I got a ticket for a no standing zone and I fought it through the mail and won.  Good luck with that.

doing this myself. you wait about a week. depending how far you mail the affidavit. call the collections agency. ussually they send you a letter in the mail conforming and notifying you that they wil be taking it off your credit report. but you can still call and they should have in there records the staus of your affidavit. sometimes they need more information like a police report. need more help ask me. i am dealing with it my self. real big headache huh

It will stay on your record or credit report until you pay it off. It can then stay on there for up to 1 year I believe afterwards. Depends on when they last reported it.\n\nIt depends on what agency reports it.

If you go to driving school the ticket is taken off your record in most states.  If you pay the fine or the bail it will remain on your record unless a judge strikes it off through a court case.

They go to the local court houses.  Tickets are a matter of public record.  It cost the attorney's postage and a little time at the court house.

It should be a fix it ticket depending on what state you live in. Usually you just have to by your police station and have a desk sergent write it off.

You will be able to find more information on the back of your ticket, such as the address to write to, phone numbers to call, etc.\n\n(You didn't mention your home state, the state the ticket was issued in, what the offense was, or anything else really, so I can't help you further, sorry...)

Unlicensed, or suspended?\n\nAre you a juvenile, or an adult?\n\nIf the violation was 12500(a) of the Vehicle Code, that's a misdemeanor that's often handled (first offense) as an infraction.\n\nBecause it can vary by county, the best thing to do is call the court that's listed on the bottom of your ticket.  If you're a juvenile, it's probable there isn't a fine...just some community service work, or informal probation, or something along those lines.\n\nUnless, of course, you get one of these tickets every week.  Then it would be different.

No. depends on how bad your driving record is.  Obviously, you probably had multiple tickets & hadn't paid them.

It's my understanding that you have to be given the ticket at the time of the offense - either handed to you or attached to your car.  If this doesn't happen, you cannot be sent one in the post - it is invalid according to the law.  I have a friend who has used this defense a number of times and it has always worked.

Dont Speed - Then you wont have a ticket in the first place

Hey dude - Sorry to hear about the ticket.  I got a couple things for ya:\n\n1.) You said you think you weren't doing more than 85.  So you know, most speedometers in vehicles are off between 5-7MPH.  Unless you have a calibrated speedometer (like cop cars) your indicated speed is probably not what you are actually doing.  Be careful.\n\n2.)  I have never heard of them changing this type of violation to a non-moving violation.  I think the route you should attempt to take is to go to court and respectfully and in a non-argumentative manner, request the fine/speed be reduced due to whatever circumstances you feel are appropriate.  A lower speed will possibly reduce the points.\n\nThe key is be humble and respectful.  The worst thing that can happen is the court will say no.  Doesn't hurt to ask though.\n\nGood luck.

I believe they keep the records for up to 7 years, but remove themselves from the situation.\n\nThat could be untrue though!

No.  It will not be dismissed.  You go to court on Tuesday morning and get it sorted out.  If you don't, the court could suspend your driver's license for failure to appear.  When you are in court, you can ask the judge to dismiss the ticket.
