Points are only counted in three year increments so, for example, if you got a speeding ticket this morning, and were convicted of it, any points between 11/5/12 and 11/4/15 will count toward a possible "negligent operator" point suspension. 4 points in one year, 6 points in two years or 8 points in three years. I'm guessing that your question relates to clearing the DUI conviction from your driving record, short answer, you can't.

You can't remove points; they trail off automatically over time. What you can do is expungement.. You need to have successfully completed the entire term of probation, have nothing criminal pending, and not be on probation for any other offense(s). Contact a lawyer to file the petition for expungement on your behalf.
