Tickets stay on your record in Kansas for 3 years to a lifetime, depending on the offense. The amount of time a ticket stays on your record in Kansas depends on what the ticket is for, since serious offenses like driving while suspended will stay on your driving record for longer than minor offenses.
How Long Tickets Stay on Your Kansas Driving Record
- Minor offenses (speeding): 3 years
- Major offenses (driving while suspended): 5 years
- DUI: lifetime
Tickets on your Kansas driving record can affect your driving privileges and car insurance rates. The state will suspend your driver’s license if 3 or more speeding tickets in 12 months.
That said, the amount of time that a ticket stays on your Kansas driving record might be different from how long the ticket will affect your car insurance rates. For instance, most car insurance companies check the past three years of your driving record when calculating premiums. But the length of time varies, and certain offenses may disqualify you from a good driver discount for more than three years.
