Indiana and Kentucky are both part of the Drivers License Compact which requires member states to report convictions for other moving violations back to the state in which a person was issued their license. Thus the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles or traffic court should inform the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet of the speeding citation you received out of state.

The Kentucky driver's manual states that the KY Division of Driver Licensing keeps a record of all moving traffic violations on each driver licensed in Kentucky. These records are based on reports of traffic convictions, forfeiture of bail, or payment of fine, with or without court appearances, which are forwarded to the Division of Driver Licensing by the courts throughout the United States.

We have previous read that Kentucky does not assess points for out of state speeding tickets but does for other types of moving violations. You should check with the KY Transportation Cabinet to make certain this has not changed since normally 6 points are assessed in KY for speeding 16 MPH or more, but less than 26 MPH, over the posted limit.

Since the IN speeding ticket will likely appear on your Kentucky driving record, then your insurance company could see it the next time they checked your MVR. It will depend upon your insurance carrier's rating system if this speeding ticket will affect your rates. Find out about the rating system from your insurance agent.
