Car Insurance Question  How many points is it when you get a speeding ticket in Delaware and live in Maryland? I was going 10 miles over the speed limit?

Delaware and Maryland are both members of the Driver's License Compact (DLC) meaning that the Delaware ticket will be reported back to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). In Delaware it is a 4 point offense for being cited for driving 10 to 14 mph over the speed limit.

Speeding in excess of the posted speed limit by 10 miles an hour or more is normally a 2 point offense in Maryland. The newly updated MD MVA site notes that if you are convicted of a vehicle-related offense in a jurisdiction outside of Maryland, the MVA may assess points. The point values identified in Maryland law for similar offenses determine the number of points that you will be assessed.

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 include:

  • Alcohol or drug related offenses;
  • Leaving the scene of a personal injury accident;
  • Homicide or manslaughter involving a vehicle;
  • Use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony.

From this information it would not appear that points would be assigned for an out of state speeding ticket. To find out for certain though if points will be assessed for this DE speeding citation, check with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration.
