Date of speeding ticket or court date?

In Wisconsin its the date of conviction
I have had to in the past (right out of high school) had my attorney put off via the judge, conviction date to bypass habitual offender rule because of to many tickets

 

You go with the conviction date.

 

Conviction date... what the heck, looks like your lawyer failed you. With a lawyer you should at least get it knocked down to a non moving.
Ask for your money back.

 

Yep, conviction date

 

Go to the DMV, get your 3 year MVR, whatever the date says, go with it. I got a ticket in september 2007, didnt get to court til june 2008, checked my MVR, its back dated to date of incident. but your state could be different.

 

LogsRus,

I really liked the PowerPoint Presentation you did on the 11 hr. and 14 hr. rules. At that time you indicated that you would be making available further logbook presentations. Did you get around to it? If so, I would sure like to know where I can find them for download. I haven't yet finished reviewing your posts for them as I thought you would be interested in the following information.

Regarding your response about violation date vs. conviction date. Previous to obtaining this material from a California Department of Motor Vehicles handout; I would have not only agreed with you; I would have bet money on it. And let me say, I do not know if these laws are different from state to state, but, I would tend to doubt it.

This is a brochure titled "Retention of Driver Record Information: Reported Information and Reporting Periods"

Introduction
The Department of Motor Vehicles has modified the reporting period of certain driver record information in an effort to provide the same public record information to all entitled requesters.

Abstracts of Conviction
Most violations designated as two points will be reported for 10 years from the violation date. All other conviction of traffic violation will be reported for 3 years from the violation date.

Violations occurring in a commercial vehicle which are the basis for an action under VC 15300a, 15300b, 15302, 15304, and 15306 will be reported for 55 years from the conviction date.

Violation Date is defined as: The date the violation occurred, as reflected on the abstract of conviction.

I had a ticket received 02/05/2006 with a conviction date of 06/15/2006. From my previous belief that reporting dates are made from the conviction date; I expected the ticket to be on my MVR last week when I went to DMV to get my MVR. It was, in fact, gone from my MVR and I was at that time provided with this brochure. There is not much else in this brochure of interest, but should you, or anyone else care for a copy, I'll scan it an post it. I personally find this to be great news.

 

Dont some company's go by the conviction date for their insurance tho? When i applied at UPS they did anyway.

 

I'm asking , so the conviction date would go back to the time you got arrested or the the time the violation occur? What if you're arrested and found not guilty. I would hope if asked the question have you ever been arrested that date would be the same.

 

I think it should be the Date of Conviction. I have heard of some of my friends facing such experiences with attorneys.
