Will My Insurer Know About the Written Warning for Speeding Ticket
Reader’s Question:
When I was driving to work, I was stopped for doing 45 mph in a 25 mph. The State Patrol gave me a written warning, with no fine. With what happened, will my insurance company be contacted?

Typically a ticket for exceeding the speed limit in Dayton, OH by more than 5 mph, when the limit is less than 55 mph, results in receiving two points on your Ohio driver’s license. Since you received a written warning with no fine, this violation might not be placed on your Ohio driving record. Although, some states do not carry a fine or require a court appearance for a written warning; it instead serves as a reminder for you about your speedy driving. On some other states, they will file this warning or place a notation regarding it on your driving record. To find out for certain what Ohio does regarding written warnings, check with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles or Traffic Violation Bureau.
Your insurance company will not be contacted by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, but if the speeding offense is recorded by the Ohio State Patrol and placed on your motor vehicle record, your car insurance company will see the violation when they next look up your MVR. They normally do this when you start a policy, make changes and/or at renewal time.
When will Out of State DUI In Ohio Be Removed From Driving Record
Reader’s Question:
I live in another state but got a DUI in Ohio about four years ago. When will it go off my driving record? My insurance rate is too high till now.

The DUI in Ohio is listed at least 6 years on your driver’s record since it is noted by the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) that it is considered a first DUI violation if you are found driving with a prohibited alcohol concentration or drug of abuse with no prior OVIs within the last six years on the driving history. It is considered a second offense if you have at least 1 prior OMVI within the last six years on the driving record.
From the information from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) there is no information of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) that states regarding infractions being removed of a driver record. But, an administrative decision is in effect that permits for Driver Abstracts to only reflect the last 3 years motorist record activity.
So it looks like that a DUI conviction will stay on any OH driving record that the BMV started for you indefinitely but you can verify with the BMV to find out for sure about your situation with you being an out of state resident.
Will My License Be Suspended For Speeding Ticket in Ohio?
Reader’s Question:
I got a speeding ticket in Ohio and I just want to know how many points it will take off and if my license will be suspended? I live in Indiana.

Thank you for asking Gene.
Indiana, your home state, and Ohio ,where you received your ticket, are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This means that the Ohio BMV will share back to Indiana’s BMV information regarding your traffic offense of this speeding ticket.
In Ohio it is a 4 point offense for driving 30 mph or more over the speed limit. In Indiana on the other hand, it is a 6 point offense speeding 25 mph in excess of the posted speed limit.
Since you are licensed in Indiana, it looks like you would receive the assessment of points in Indiana. According to the Indiana BMV moving infraction convictions, which IN has a corresponding violation, the violation will be put on your driving record along with the allotted points.
To get more information on other penalties that Ohio might give you for getting speeding ticket, contact the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and/or the court entity listed on the ticket that you received.
Goodluck!
