The District of Columbia and Virginia are both member states of the Driver License Compact (DLC) so the reckless driving ticket from VA will appear on your driving record in Washington, DC. According to the DC DMV drivers receive points for certain moving traffic violations, whether the violations occur in the District of Columbia or in other states. The DC DMV will assess points if you are found liable at a hearing, fail to pay a ticket within the time required, are convicted in court of a traffic violation, or you pay the ticket (thus admission of liability). The number of points you will receive depends on the type of violation. If the District of Columbia assigns you points for reckless driving it would be 12 points and a license revocation. If they instead assess it as a speeding ticket, the points would be substantially less.If in need of DC free car insurance quote you can receive one right here.
