California and Arizona are both part of the Drivers License Compact meaning that the AZ Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) will report back to the CA Department of Motor Vehicles traffic ticket convictions. As for points, moving violations in Arizona range from 2 points to 8 points depending on the seriousness of the offense. In California though they assess only 1 or 2 points to a CA license for out state violations according to the CA DMV violation points assessment list. Remember that if a conviction is put on your CA driving record for this AZ ticket that your insurance company could also raise your rates, depending upon their rating system. From this information you can make the personal decision if it is worth the cost of taking traffic school to keep the points and ticket off of your CA license. What a Traffic Ticket Can Truly Cost You is an article in our Learning Center that can also be of help.
