The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) the points may be disregarded after 2 years but the infractions stay on your motor vehicle record since IN state continues to track your infractions. If they find you have committed repeat traffic violations over a ten year period, Indiana will classify you as a habitual traffic offender. The Habitual Traffic Violator law for repeat violators provides for suspension of license of 5 years, 10 years, or life.

The official driving record in Indiana includes information on:

* Issued tickets both in Indiana and other states that are part of their reporting network.
* Accidents and/or ticket for which the motorist failed to provide proof of financial responsibility.
* Major offenses like as driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI) or being a habitual traffic violator (HTV).

It looks like that according to Indiana’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles that while points for traffic infractions will only stay active on your motor vehicle record (MVR) for two years, that traffic offenses and serious vehicular offenses, such as a DUI, continually stay on your record. You can check with the IN Bureau of Motor Vehicles to verify this information.
