Ohio Auto Insurance Law
Reader’s Question:
I received a speeding ticket going over 17 mph? Is it going to be reported back to my home state in Michigan? What is the actual Ohio auto insurance law?

Thank you for asking John.
Ohio is part of the Drivers License Compact. On the other hand, Michigan is not part of this multiple state agreement that requires member states to exchange information of a person moving violations they receive out of state.
Even though Michigan is not part of this DLC to share traffic violation information between state courts and DMVs, they still have their own agreements to forward this information to other states and also get informed if a licensed motorist in Michigan is cited of a ticket out of state.
According to the Michigan Department of the State, if an out of state infraction corresponds to a offense listed in Michigan law, then the moving infraction will be recorded to your driving history and assigns points as required by the MI Vehicle Code.
It seems that not only will the speeding ticket that you received in Ohio will be placed on your Michigan driver’s license but also be assigned Michigan DMV points. For 16 mph or more over the posted speed limit MI assesses 4 points.
Goodluck!
