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!

Will Out Of State Speeding Ticket Count on My Ohio Record?
Reader’s Question:
I received a ticket for speeding in the state of PA and I just want to know if it is true that Ohio does not assess points on out of state violation. Thank you.

Thank you for asking Cassandra.
Ohio and Pennsylvania are both part of the Driver License Compact (DLC). This means that they do share information between their licensing agencies. For Ohio this is the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).
It was said that Ohio does not assign points for out-of-state traffic infractions but in the last few years Ohio has changed the state’s points system so I would suggest that you check with the BMV to get information and make sure if your speeding ticket you got from PA will be assigned points or only be noted on your driving record in Ohio without points assigned to it.
If points are assessed for the PA speeding ticket under the points system in Ohio would result in 4 points, 2 points or no points. This depends on what the speed limit that was posted and the number of exceeding mph.
Goodluck!
