I got a ticket in Michigan with a Georgia driver's license. Will Michigan report this back to Georgia? It was only for 10 over so it won't be any points in Georgia, but my insurance would definitely see it then.

Georgia does not take part in the Drivers License Compact (DLC) and neither does Michigan however both states have other agreements to exchange information regarding traffic tickets their licensed drivers acquire out of state.

Sources say that Georgia does not post 14 mph or under speeding tickets on your GA driving record and the GA violation points list does not mention points for speeding citations of under 14 mph either so as you stated a speeding ticket for 10 mph does not get points placed on your license.

The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) states that after a conviction of a traffic offense, the court will forward notice of that conviction to the Department.

The GA driver's manual notes that the DDS shall mandatorily suspend a license for a conviction of certain offenses in Georgia or any other state. Also the accumulation of 15 or more points within 24 months under the point system, including violations committed out-of-state will result in a suspension of a Georgia driver's license.

From this information it would appear that our out of state violation will be placed on your Georgia record but not assigned points (since it would not be assigned points if it was in state). To find out for certain though if the MI speeding citation will be placed on your GA driver's history you should check with the GA DDS.

If the speeding violation is placed on your Georgia driving record then as you noted your insurance company would see it then next time they pulled your MVR. Then depending upon your insurance provider's rating system your rates may be affected by this MI citation.
