Go there, plead guilty and pay the fine, no points will be on your license as a result…it’ll still be a factor in your insurance rates though. No matter what you wont get out of it without paying some sort of a fine. > [@DMV](#): > > A traffic conviction is required for the points to appear on your driver record. **18 months after the date of the violation, the points for that violation are removed from your point total.** The convictions remain on your record. > [@DMV](#): > > # A moving violation conviction or an accident normally remains on a driver record during the year that the conviction or the accident occurred, and for the following three calendar years. (Note: The DMV uses the year when the conviction occurred, not the year when the violation occurred.) > > # The DMV removes a conviction or an accident from a driver record on January 1 of the fourth year after the year of the conviction or the accident. For example, an accident or a conviction that occurred during 2003 remains on the driver record until January 1, 2007. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/legal-info-on-points-licenses-and-tickets-needed/11001)._
