How long does an Accident, DUI or Ticket stay on my driving record in Ohio?

Answer:
If you are moving to Ohio, you might want to know about

the Ohio driving record laws, and how some traffic violations and convictions may impact that record.

Most states keep serious convictions like DUI and DWI on drivers' records for ten years or more. According to some sources, the state of Ohio keeps DUI or DWI convictions on the drivers' records forever.

It is not readily apparent from thorough review of the Ohio DMV website exactly how long accidents or tickets might remain on a driver's record, but most states keep such traffic convictions on the record for three years or more.
