Q: I’m a minor in Louisiana and I got a speeding ticket reduced to a fine, is it still going on my record?
A:
Yes, even if your speeding ticket was reduced to a fine, it will still go on your driving record in Louisiana. This is because all moving violations, regardless of the outcome, are recorded with the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV).
The OMV maintains a driving record for all licensed drivers in the state, and this record includes information about all moving violations, including speeding tickets. This information can be accessed by insurance companies, potential employers, and law enforcement agencies.
A: More information is needed to properly answer your question. Was your speeding charge reduced to a lesser charge and if so, to what charge? If your charge was reduced to a non-moving violation then it will not be on your driving record. This is why one should get a lawyer to assist you even if it is a traffic ticket. You want to minimize the future impact of the ticket.
