    Anybody have an idea how long a regular traffic ticket remains on your DMV record? I am not talking about a dui or reckless driving. Just something like a speeding ticket.

    Hey :
    I am not totally sure , but, Seems to me it hangs around for 3 years or so.
    There are some rules to getting one at least in certain states. you must report getting one.

    Thanks, I knew it , I just knew it. I have not had a ticket in over 20 years now.

    But she is right, Actually every thing you do in life is recorded somewhere.

    Actually it depends on the State. Here in Calif normal tickets are removed from your record after 7 years.

    The points drop off, but here in Florida the record goes back at least 7 years. I forget if they have a lifetime record.
