KansasĀ and Ohio are both take part in the Drivers License Compact. This agreement requires members to report back to the state in which a motorist is licensed in any out of state traffic violations. Thus the KS Department of Revenue or courts should report to the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) this speeding ticket.
We have read that Ohio does not assign points for out of state tickets, but will place the violation on your driving record. State laws can change or be amended though so I would recommend checking with the Ohio BMV to find out for certain how they handle out of state violations with regards to your driving record and points assessment. If points are assigned in Ohio it is 2 points for a speeding offense of between 11 to 29 over the limit.
If Ohio chooses to place this Kansas speeding ticket on your driving record then when an insurance company next pulls your motor vehicle record (MVR) they will see it and depending upon the company's rating system your premiums could be affected. You can comparison shop for new car insurance if your rates are raised.
