Car Insurance Question  I have a Wisconsin driver's license and got pulled over in Minnesota for speeding. Will points be taken off my WI License? And will my insurance go up?

Minnesota is a part of the Drivers License Compact, which requires member states to inform the state in which a person is licensed about out of state moving violation convictions, while your home state of Wisconsin is not. However, most states will usually report violation convictions back to other states even if they are not part of the DLC.

According to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, they do receive in from out of state courts information on WI licensed drivers and moving violation convictions. The WI DOT notes though that no points are assessed for convictions of traffic offenses from other states but the conviction is entered on your Wisconsin driver record.

It is possible that this MN speeding citation could affect your auto insurance rates since it will be placed on your WI driving record where your insurance company can see it the next time they check your MVR. To find out for certain if it will change your car insurance rates you will need to discuss your company's rating system with your agent since insurance companies' rating systems differ from one insurer to the next.
