Car Insurance Question  I just received a ticket in KY, I live in Cincinnati, OH. Someone told me that in Ohio if you get a ticket in another state it does not count against your Ohio license. I was wondering if anyone could confirm this.

Ohio and Kentucky are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This agreement requires member states to report traffic violations received by a motorist back to the state where the person is licensed. So the Kentucky courts or Cabinet of Transportation will inform the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles about your KY ticket.

Information we have read in the past states that Ohio does not assign points for out of state tickets, but will place the violation on your driving record. Ohio has changed their violation points system in the last few years so you should check with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) to find out for certain how out-of-state traffic violation convictions are now dealt with.

If you are in need of affordable Ohio automobile insurance, look no further. Get a quick low cost quote here.
