Reader’s Question:

I have a CDL and I received a speeding ticket and it has been in my license for almost 3 years. I just want to know when it will come off my record? I live in AZ.

Thank you for asking Carl.

The Arizona Driver’s Manual states that each time you are convicted or forfeit bail for a moving violation, points are assessed against your permanent driving record.

According to the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) a violation is taken off your driving record five years from the date of conviction. There is no information that state that when will the points come off . They do say that any convictions received and showing on your driving record within the past 39 months will be provided to an insurance company.

Since neither the AZ driver’s manual nor the MVD site state how long points stay on your driving record you may contact the AZ DOT directly to to get more information and to find out how long points for your previous speeding offense will remain on your record and if it will differ for you since you have a CDL.

Goodluck!
