How long does a written warning ticket stay on your record?
According to Sgt. Neil Dickenson of the Minnesota State Patrol, a paper warning does not go on your driving record. As for citations for speed, according to the Driver and Vehicle Services, tickets generally stay on your record for five years; serious speeds are 10 years.
“With that being said, each year illegal or unsafe speed is a leading contributing factor in Minnesota’s fatal crashes — accounting for at least 130 deaths annually, of which 70 percent occur on rural, twolane roads in Minnesota,” said Dickenson. Young adult motorists are the most common offenders and those at greatest risk.
