I got an traffic ticket for careless driving (2 points) in New Jersey and I have an Ohio driver's license. Will this reflect in my driving record in Ohio?

Ohio and New Jersey are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This agreement requires member states to report back to the state in which a motorist is licensed any out of state traffic violations. Thus the NJ courts or Motor Vehicle Commission should report to the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) this ticket for careless driving.

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.

You can read more about the Driver License Compact by going through the Ohio Revised Code (ORC). ORC 4510.61 specifically discusses the DLC.
