I live in Florida and am in the EMS program in college which requires you to drive an ambulance and just found out I have 22 points on my license so I might find it difficult to find a job. My question is if I move to another state would my drivers license record follow me or is there no hope?

State laws differ so some states may transfer your old state's traffic and driving violations to your new state's driving record while other states may not. To find out find out what a specific state does regarding this contact their Department of Motor Vehicles or like agency.

Keep in mind that even if your driving record does not get transferred to your new state's driving record, an insurance company (and possibly your potential employer since you would be driving an ambulance) would be able to check your old Florida driving history.

Also with 22 points on your Florida license you need to make certain your total does not result in your license being suspended for 1 year. According to the Florida Traffic Points Violation System 12 points in 12 months is a 30 day suspension, 18 points in an 18 month period results in a 3 month suspension and 24 points within 36 months has a penalty of a 1 year license suspension.
