How Long Before an Accident Is Removed From a Driving Record?
- The state of New York does not assign fault for accidents but notes the accident on the driving records of all drivers involved in an accident. An accident stays on a person's driving record for three years in New York.
- Accidents remain on a person's driving record for five years in Texas. Similar to New York, Texas notes accidents on people's driving records but does not record who was at fault.
- In Georgia, moving violations carry a point value. The more serious the violation, the greater the number of points. Too many points means a license suspension. A police officer at the scene of an accident generally determines fault and assigns the moving violation. Points for being at fault in an accident remain on a driving record for two years; the violation itself remains on a driving record indefinitely.
