In Kentucky a speeding ticket for going between 16 mph to 26 mph over the speed limit is 6 points. Indiana differs in that for a citation going between 16 mph to 25 mph over the speed limit is only 4 points. A Division of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is primarily responsible for maintaining the computer system that contains the official driving records for those licensed in Indiana. One of the items listed on these driver records is tickets issued both in Indiana and in other states that are part of the reporting network. The reporting network referred to is likely the Driver License Compact, which both Indiana and Kentucky are members of. So this means the out of state ticket information is placed on your IN driving record. Out of state judgments for moving violations for which Indiana has a corresponding violation may be assessed along with corresponding points, against the Indiana driver's license. Because of the wording of this, it would appear that it would be Indiana's points assessed to your IN license. You can check with the BMV to make certain this is the case. You might ask if you have the option to take traffic school to reduce or dismiss the points since Indiana does allow for a defensive driving course if you have amassed a certain amount of points. Once you have completed an authorized class the BMV normally will deduct 4 points from your point total.
