How do you remove an accident from your driving record in California?

Unfortunately, there’s no way to remove an accident from your driving record in
California
unless the accident was listed by mistake. In the rare event that this occurs, you can use form DL-208: Traffic Accident Record Correction Request to fix the issue.Otherwise, accidents will remain on your California driving record for three years before being automatically removed. Some severe, at-fault accidents may even remain on your record for up to 10 years.
