Wisconsin is not a member of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) but still has agreements with other states to report moving violations that their licensed drivers received out of state. So Wisconsin will likely inform the California Department of Motor Vehicles about this speeding violation conviction since you have already pleaded guilty and paid the fine.
Speeding over 10 mph over the limit is a 3 point offense in Wisconsin but according to the California points listing it is only 1 point for an out of state speeding violation. Since you have already paid the violation in WI it would not appear that you could take a traffic school there or try to reduce the ticket so that it was not counted as a speeding violation.
In California, you need to have traffic school approved by the clerk of the court or another judicial official in the country which your ticket was received. Since your ticket did not go through a CA court due to being from out of state, it would not appear that you could take a driving course to remove or keep this WI ticket or points from being placed on your California driver's license.
To find out for certain if you have any options to keep this Wisconsin speeding violation off of your driving record, check with the CA DMV. If the ticket is placed on your driving record and affects your insurance rates, come to us for a car insurance quote for CA that could save you money.
