I just received a ticket in GA for going 73 in a 45. I live in TN. Will this ticket show up on my TN license? The police officer said I could go to court and maybe go to driving school, but I can't do that being out of state? I have never had a ticket before.

Neither Georgia or Tennessee are members of the Drivers License Compact that requires member states to inform a motorist's licensing state of an out of state moving violation conviction. Tennessee in fact dropped out of the Compact in 1997 but still reports tickets to other states and other states can still report moving violations of TN drivers back to the TN Department of Safety and Georgia is the same way in that they will report moving violations to the driver's home state

A speeding violation of exceeding the posted limit by 26 mph to 35 mph in Tennessee would be worth 5 points according to the TN violation points list. Since the Georgia speeding ticket will likely be reported to TN, the Department of Safety might add this offense to your driving record and apply points to your license as if the offense occurred in state. Find out by for certain contact the TN DPS directly.

Even though you are out of state you may want to contact the clerk of the court for the county court listed on your Georgia speeding ticket to see if there is an online traffic school you can take since you are from out of state.

If the speeding ticket shows up your TN driving history, your insurance rates could be affected, even if it is your first ticket, depending on your insurance company's rating system. You can contact your insurance carrier to find out about their rating system or contact your state's insurance regulator, with whom the insurance company must file their rates with.
