In order to keep my readers better informed I am including information about traffic law changes in Wisconsin that have been recently amended or changed.
Effective July 1, 2008, these changes are related to how points are determined by DMV and how point reduction is applied. No changes are being made as to how points are assessed. (Trans. 101).
1. Completion of Point Reduction School may be used to reduce points assessed against a drivers license that has already been suspended.
These are existing traffic related laws to keep you better informed.
1. DMV does not maintain records of violations for ATV drunk driving, motorboat drunk driving and snowmobile drunk driving. DNR keeps records of those offenses.
2. Laws regulating operation of motor vehicles on a highway apply on sidewalks as well as on the roadway.
3. DMV runs a computer program twice a year to purge unneeded items from drivers records.
4. Administrative Suspensions must be purged if the underlying OWI is dismissed.

On another subject, a Municipal Court citation may under certain circumstances become a permanent law enforcement record, in a non-traffic case.
