Virginia, North Carolina and your home state of Maryland are all part of the Drivers License Compact (DLC). As members of this Compact they are required to report tickets received by motorists back to the state which they are licensed.
The newly updated MD Motor Vehicle Administration 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.

[Let CarInsurance.com help you find affordable auto insurance now.] The Maryland driver's manual currently states that once the MVA receives ticket information from another state they treat it as if the violation occurred in state. If that is the case, even if the offense is not one that they assign points to, it will be placed on your Maryland driving record.
