Car Insurance Question  Will the points for a speeding ticket received in Ohio transfer to my Maryland driving record?

Maryland and Ohio both take part in the Drivers License Compact (DLC) meaning that as member states they both exchange traffic offense information back to the state in which a person is licensed.

The Maryland Driver's Handbook states that drivers who are convicted of traffic law violations when driving in another jurisdiction do not escape corrective action taken by this state. Convictions for moving violations received from other jurisdictions are recorded on the Maryland driving record.

While the MD Motor Vehicle Administration site goes on to say that if you are convicted of a vehicle-related offense in a jurisdiction outside of Maryland, the MVA may assess points. The Driver License Compact, to which Maryland is a signatory, guides the MVA's actions. The types of out-of-state violations for which points may be assessed in Maryland are listed as alcohol or drug related offenses, leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, homicide or manslaughter involving a vehicle and the use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony.

It would appear the offenses listed above would always require the MA to assign points to your driving record no matter if they occurred in or out of state. Since speeding tickets are not directly noted here I would suggest contacting the MVA to find out if points are assessed for an out of state speeding citation.

If points are assigned to the OH ticket by the MD MVA then it will be according to the point values identified in Maryland law for similar offenses. It is usually 2 to 5 points assessed Maryland for speeding violations.
