Will the ticket still show on my driving record?
I completed the course for a ticket in Fayetteville. Will the ticket still appear on my Arkansas driving record or does it get removed?
Hello Susan, Thanks for the question. In Arkansas, completing a defensive driving course typically does not erase a citation from your driving record, but it does keep additional points from being added and can prevent a license suspension. A few specifics: - The citation itself remains on your record per Arkansas Office of Driver Services rules - Points associated with the violation may be reduced or held, depending on the court's order - Insurance companies still see the citation on the record, even if points are minimized To confirm your specific outcome, request a copy of your driving record from the Arkansas OMV after the court closes the case.
