Will Out Of State Speeding Ticket Affect My Auto Insurance Rate?
Reader’s Question:
I received a speeding ticket in South Carolina. I live in Texas and I just want to know how this will affect my premium in Ohio. Can I also take any driving school to remove from my record?

Thank you for asking Maja.
Ohio and South Carolina are both part of the Driver License Compact. This means that the speeding ticket that you received from SC will be transferred from the South Carolina DMV to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, your home state and will likely be placed on your Ohio driving record.
If points are assigned to your Ohio driving record for out of state violations the state might only assess the points that the infraction would have been charged if it happened in Ohio. It has been reported that Ohio does not assign points for out of state minor moving infractions but you would need to contact with the BMV to be make sure.
If points are assigned to your Ohio vehicle driving record (MVR), you can check with the BMV to verify if taking a driving course or enrolling in traffic school will help to remove points.
Goodluck!
