Even after you complete the course, most violations, convictions and points will continue to show on your driving record for up to 4 years. Violations and convictions involving drugs or alcohol will remain on your driving record for ten or fifteen years, depending on the violation.

Accidents and most traffic convictions are only displayed until the end of the year in which the accident or conviction occurred, plus 3 additional years. Convictions for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DWI) are displayed for 15 years from the date of conviction.

A: The only way to remove a DWI conviction from your record in New York is to petition for sealing the record 10 years after the conviction. You must complete all associated penalties and cannot have committed any other crimes within the past 10 years.

A traffic violation remains on a New York driver's record for three years after the conviction. This is same answer when asking, “How long do points stay on your license?” However, the point system only counts the many points on your record for DMV purposes for an 18 month period from the date of the offense.

The DMV assigns points for certain traffic violations. If you receive 6 or more points on your New York State driving record in 18 months, you must pay a Driver Responsibility Assessment Fee. If you get 11 points in an 18-month period, your driver license may be suspended.

You can remove points on license in NYS by taking a DMV-approved Point and Insurance Reduction Program (PIRP) course. Attending a NY defensive driving school will not only prevent you from having your license suspended, but will also help you save 10% on your auto insurance premiums in the future.

The total assessment for the three years is $300. If you receive more than 6 points on your driver record during a period of 18 months, the annual assessment is $25 for each point in addition to the original six points. The minimum amount that you must pay each year is the annual assessment.

Once 18 months have passed from the violation date, the points for that violation no longer count toward your total. However, the points remain on your driving record as long as the conviction remains on your record and may be used by your insurance company to increase premiums.
