According to the Tennessee Driver’s manual,the Department of Safety keeps records of moving violations and accidents for each motorist. These driving records are based on reports of accidents submitted by investigating officers and reports forwarded to the department by the courts.

Motorists who accumulate 12 or more points within a 12 month period receive a notice of proposed suspension. In an effort to keep motorists aware of the possibility of losing their driving privilege to drive an advisory letter is mailed to a licensed driver having 6 – 11 points on their driving history within any twelve months.

The manual does not state how long the points remain on your driving history so I would suggest that you contact the Tennessee DPS directly to know.
