Will Traffic School Remove My Speeding Ticket From My Record?
Reader’s Question:
I got a speeding ticket in the state of Ohio. Will this be transferred to my home state KY? Is there a way to remove it? Can I enroll in a traffic school? Please help.

Thank you for asking Jana.
Kentucky and Ohio are both part of the Drivers License Compact. This means that Ohio will share your speeding ticket to Kentucky therefore it will likely show up on your KY driving record. Although Kentucky does not assess points for out of state speeding tickets, it does for other types of tickets.
Kentucky’s defensive or traffic school can be referred to by the court system and since your ticket was in OH and not KY then I dont think that you could do traffic school. The speeding ticket that you received in Ohio could affect your insurance rates in Kentucky when it shows up on your record.
Insurance providers differ on their rating system so you may contact your insurers to find out how this ticket can affect your premiums. So if you do not want to just pay the ticket and remain on your driving record you could contact an Ohio lawyer to see what options you have.
Goodluck!
