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!
