How long does a DUI stay on my driving record?

I got pulled over by the police on my way home after a party and got a DUI ticket. How long will it stay on my driving ticket?

You'll have to wait three to five years in most states. A DUI will be wiped in some locations after three years, just like any other traffic violation. It will be on your driving record for 10 years in California.

It's important to remember that a driving record is not the same as a criminal record. A DUI conviction might have a long-term impact on your life.
