How can I clear my driving record in Georgia?
I got my first (and hopefully last) speeding ticket last weekend and I’m concerned about the long-term impact. Is there a way to clear my driving record in Georgia?

Ouch! Unfortunately, there’s no way to clear your driving record. Once you are convicted of a driving violation in
Georgia
, it will permanently stay on your record. There are, however, a couple of options regarding point reduction. Points against your driver’s license are added once you’re convicted of a violation, where they will remain for two years. If waiting is not an option, you can request a points reduction of up to 7 points once every 5 years.
To qualify for point reduction before two years are up, you must complete a certified defensive driving course. There are many
benefits of taking a defensive driving course
—not only will you not have to wait two full years, but you’ll become a better driver and reduce the likelihood of making the same infraction. Some
traffic tickets significantly impact car insurance rates
, but switching insurance might help reduce your premium after a conviction.Download the
