An accident that appears on the driver record does not assign the fault to that driver or determine fault. If the accident was considered by the state or DMV to be of a serious nature, it can remain on a driver record for more than 10 years.
Following are some examples of how long convictions of violations that drivers are ticketed for will stay on a person's driving record. Most traffic offense convictions will remain on your record for three years from the violation date and count as 1 point. Accidents are reported for 3 years from the accident date.
