The Florida driver's handbook does not state how long moving violations stay on a driver's motor vehicle record (MVR). It does mention that points which are placed on your Florida driver's license due to traffic violations stay on your record and are counted against you for 3 years for insurance purposes. Points though can continue to accumulate on your record beyond those 3 years though so the state can keep track and impose penalties if necessary.

It is also mentioned that before you renew your license, your driving record is checked. If you have had no convictions for driving violations in the past three years, or suspension/revocation/disqualification free record for the past seven years, you will be issued a six-year license.

Also a DUI conviction will remain on your driving record for 75 years.

You can order a driving record for 3 or 7 years so minor violations would appear to stay on your FL driving record for at least 7 years. Whether you can request a violation to be removed after a certain time period is a question for the Bureau of records at the Florida department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (HSMV).

You should be able to get information from the HSMV Customer Service Center at (850) 922-9000.
