Is there any way to get speeding tickets off your record if you’ve already taken defensive driving?
I have a few speeding tickets still on my record. I can’t take defensive driving so I can’t take it again but I would like to know how to get it off my record?

If you have been convicted of various traffic infractions where you no longer have the option to take a course such as "defensive driving", unfortunately those infractions that you have been convicted of remain on your record for driving permanently.
Usually the court gives a person who has been charged with a driving infraction to take a course in "defensive driving" in lieu of getting an actual conviction. Once the course is used up in a certain time period (usually 5 years), one cannot take the course in lieu of the conviction and penalty as to another offense.
