How long does a seat belt ticket stay on your record in New Jersey?

Answer 1

The violation will always be on your record. However, most insurance companies do not go back more than 3 years, and some 5 years. Even if your state aloows you to go to school to keep the points off your license the ticket itself will still show. The state will have a listing of every violation you have ever had, but they will not count towards suspension of your license or for insurance after a normal 3 year period.

Answer 2

In New York State, if a driver is convicted of a violation where a passenger under age 16 is not wearing a set belt or in a child safety seat, 3 points are assigned to the driver's record. If convicted of a seat belt violation involving the driver or a passenger age 16 or older, no points are assigned to the driver's record. The conviction itself for the offense will still likely go on your New York license. If so then violation convictions normally remain on a NYS driver record during the year that the conviction occurred and the following 3 calendar years. The NYS DMV removes the conviction from your driver record on January 1 of the forth year. For example a conviction occurring in 2006 remains on your driving record until January 1, 2010.
