When does a speeding ticket go on your record?
A moving violation, including a speeding ticket, goes on your record when you either admit guilt or are found guilty by the court. Paying the fine is considered an admission of guilt and it goes on your record when paid. If you neither pay the fine or contest the ticket by the date shown on the ticket you are presumed guilty and it goes on your record at that time. If you contest the ticket and prevail it will never go on your record. If you contest the ticket and lose it goes on your record at that time.
