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

Answer:
If you are thinking about retiring to Florida, or just

moving there for any reason, you might want to know some things about the Florida motor vehicle regulations, with regard to your driving record.

Florida laws provide that a DUI (or DWI) conviction remains on a driver's permanent record and on driving history for 75 years.

It is not clearly defined how long accidents or tickets might remain on a driving record; some sources indicate that to be ten years. Undoubtedly, such things might be subject to severity and circumstances.

For more detailed information, perhaps you would like to review the Florida Driver's Manual.

Or, visit the Florida DMV website.
