In North Carolina it is 3 points to be caught speeding at a rate of more than 55 mph. In Pennsylvania exceeding the maximum speed limit by 16 to 25 mph is typically a 4 point offense. Both North Carolina and your home state of Pennsylvania are members of a Drivers License Compact (DLC) that allow their DMVs to share information.

Since Pennsylvania is a member state of the DLC, PennDOT will receive your moving violation conviction information from NCDOT. Fortunately for you though, PA has determined not to put out of state minor traffic violations onto PA motorists' driving record. They also do not assess points for out of state minor violations, such as speeding.

You can find out this information on the PennDOT site at www.dot10.state.pa.us/pdotforms/fact_sheets/fs-dlc.pdf. This is the PennDOT Fact Sheet concerning the DLC and will explain more about how the Compact works between states. The second page of the Compact lists the member states of the DLC.
