Driving Record

How long does a Driver's License Restriction violation stay on your driving record? What about a speeding violation? This is in Texas.

Thanks!

i have always been told that moving violations fall off every 3 yrs. don't know about the license restriction though.

Insurance companies look back 3 years for violations like speeding, and many look back 5 or more for DWIs, accidents, etc. Some only look back 3 years no matter the offense.

But that is somewhat tangential to the question you asked. I believe DPS keeps a permanent copy of your driving record, so technically, a violation or restriction never "falls off". It just doesn't get counted against you after a certain period of time.

it would depend on the restriction for instantance a restriction for glasses stays unitl you get eyes fixed ie lasik or a restriction for an sr 22 usually lasts only 2 years it all depends on what restriction you have and why

the DL restriction ticket was for not wearing glasses. thanks for the info!!

in this case the ticket will not affect your insurance if i may infer that that is what you are wooried about but you will always have a restriction for that unless you improve your eyes by surgery

Anyone know how long a driver's license suspension shows up?

I got an internal pot possession ticket in UT (internal possession!?!) and my WI driver's license was suspended. It didn't affect my insurance rates as I just renewed, so maybe they just forgot to check.
