In Illinois, a DUI conviction does not come off of your driving record in the. A DUI stays on your driver’s abstract forever.
According to the Illinois Secretary of State (SOS) a traffic violations such as speeding, improper lane usage, disregarding a traffic control light, etc. stay on a driver’s record for 4 to 5 years from the date of conviction. If the ticket forms the basis for a revocation or suspension, the information will be carried on your driving record for a minimum of 7 years from the date of reinstatement.
In Illinois, drug/alcohol offenses stay on a driver’s record for a lifetime according to the SOS.
