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!
