Insurance points are placed on you by an insurance company. Thus it will depend upon your insurance carrier's rating system and insurance points guidelines, as well as state laws or regulations, how long insurance points will stay with you.
In many cases the impact of older insurance points lessens over time. If your company adds insurance points for various traffic violations and accident claims, as time goes by and you receive no new violations and file no more claims it will appear that you are a safer driver and these insurance points could be reduced.
