How Long do Points Stay on my License?The answer to this question is often misunderstood by many drivers. In brief, a conviction can be visible to a prosecutor for a 5-10 year period after the conviction. However, the points will only adversely affect a person's privilege to drive for 18 months from the date the ticket was issued.
Will a Defensive Driving Course Remove the Conviction?When a driver successfully completes a certified defensive driving course, up to four points will be removed from their license. This will not expunge the conviction. It merely removes the points being held against their privilege to drive.
