Thank you for asking, Tanyah.
Convictions like hit and run, reckless driving under the influence (DUI) and other traffic offenses will remain on your driving record for 7 years from the violation date and counted as 2 points.
Other traffic violations and offenses remains in your record for only three years from the violation date and counted as 1 point. Accidents are reported for three years from the date of the accident and if you are found at fault, it is normally counted as one point.
Your drivers license may be suspended due to A DUI or failure to provide a proof of financial responsibility and it will be reported for three years from the reinstatement date or the proof of the termination date. If you fail to appear for DUI offenses, it reported for 10 years from the date of the violation. Failure to Appears and Failure to pay fines are reported for 5 years from the date of the violation.
Goodluck!
