Driving record points

[240Stilo]

Do the points on your driving record ever go away with time? Or do you have to continuously go to traffic school to remove every violation, every 18 months?

[bandaid]

I think it just goes away after 3 years in California.

3 years for points to clear. You can go to traffic school once every 18 months. I dont think you can go to traffic school to clear points. Once a point makes it onto your record, it stays for 3 years. Traffic school prevents you acquiring a point in a pending case.

what var says is true. I know all to much about all this points crap. I have 6 this year alone.

[Phlip]

3 years in NC too.

... 6 months and 18 days, I am fucking COUNTING!

^^^yep. and all clear here, i got smart and made friends with a good lawyer.

[speeddreamz]

sometimes lawyers can have old points removed. Also DUI/RECKLESS Driving/ over 100mph/ street racing will all stay for 7 years if im not mistaken, the points stay longer, and there are usually more than 1 point for the offenses.

DUI and reckless driving are two points. I checked on the DMV website. Fortunately I'm only suffering of the one pointers. I will probably be going to the DMV soon to get my driving record printed out for me to see if my old tickets are gone yet. They don't show up on the lasuperiorcourt.org website so hopefully they're cleared.

According to my INSURANCE agent, the DUI will be like any other traffic ticket and my insurance will go down ON June 15, 2006.

just remember that you can request for "traffic school two" if you get another infraction before your traffic school eligibility is up...it'll save you a point and a lot of money dealing with insurance for an additional three years...

[240Stilo]

I heard about traffic school two also but supposedly you need to go in person for that one and for longer time as opposed to regular traffic school which can be done online. When am I eligible for regular traffic school if I take traffic school two?

[that180guy]

lammmme, itll take 7yrs to remove my 100+ ticket off? lammmmeeeee

and how do you go about and request traffic school when you dont have a ticket or something?
traffic school 2? wth is that?
can some one elaborate on this? i got points i wish to knock off

[wootwoot]

Want to know something tricky you can do to avoid getting points? Being shady and having your drives liscense and car registered in a different state than California. This might also help a lot of you with emissions but who really cares when you wont get points built up for minor infractions
