Points don't affect your point count after 18 months but it stays on your abstract for 3 years. And it counts from the day you got the ticket not the day you were convicted and paid. @hope27. But if you have 4 points or less on your abstract your good. So after my points clears and makes 3 years on June 24 , I have a pending ticket for 3 points which I'm jus gonna go online and change my plea to guilty and pay. Originally I plead not guilty online and had a court date in September. I'm jus gonna go back online and you can change your plea to guilty. I'm jus gonna take the 3 points.
