Your driving record keeps close track of your behavior on the road. However, state laws vary widely when it comes to the length of time a moving violation remains active on your record. For instance, in California, you can’t be penalized for a ticket that’s more than three years old. In Nevada, a moving violation will expire from your record after a period of seven years. And in Illinois, moving violations remain active on your driving record from the time of issue for as long as you hold a license (a moving violation will never expire).
Check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to find out exactly when tickets will expire from record in your particular state.
