Interview Transcript

Scott Michael Dunn: –ending up on your record, how long does a traffic ticket sit on my record?

Chris Combs: So that’s a tough question to answer, and I’ll explain why. So, I’ve had a traffic ticket before, and I didn’t know what I was doing and wanted to hide it from my parents, so I just paid the fine.

Well, I pulled my own driving record and it, it fell off. And I didn’t pay any attention. But I pull driving records sometimes, because we pull driving records – the second someone calls us, we’re pulling driving records. And I’ve seen traffic tickets going back to the eighties on some people’s driving records, so there’s no general rule of thumb of when it falls off.
