The Driving Record and the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles
Convictions are reported by the court to the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, which keeps the driving record and decides on points and suspensions. Order the driving record from that agency, not from the court.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
An OUI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Registry of Motor Vehicles (see Easthampton DUI).
