Car Insurance Question  I have a Florida license and got a speeding ticket in Virginia for 14 MPH over the speed limit. Will this affect my FL driver's license and points?

Florida and Virginia are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC). The DLC requires member states to inform the state in which the driver is licensed of the out of state traffic law violation. This means that the Virginia DMV will report to the Florida HSMV your speeding ticket.

The FL HSMV states that if you carry a Florida license and receive a ticket in another state that the HSMV will be informed and the citation information will be added to your driving record.

Besides the VA violation information being included on your FL driving history, you will receive points on your FL license if Florida statutes find the violation to be points accessible, which speeding is.

In Florida it is 3 points for going 15 mph or less over the posted speed limit so that is likely the amount of points you will receive for your Virginia speeding ticket on your FL license.

The Florida HSMV site also notes that FL law does not allow any school or program to remove points for a ticket received in another state. So you will be unable to take a Florida driving class to cancel the ticket or its points.
