WILL A TRAFFIC INFRACTION APPEAR ON MY DRIVING RECORD?

When you pay the penalty, mitigate, or if the Judge finds that you have committed a traffic infraction at a contested hearing, the state law requires that the infraction be reported to the Department of Licensing. The infraction will then appear on your driving record. Neither the Court Clerk, nor the Judge, has the authority to keep it off your record. If you win at a contested hearing and the infraction is dismissed, it is not reported to the Department of Licensing and will not appear on your driving record.
