I am an out of state student in FL and got a speeding ticket 8 mph over the speed limit. Will this effect my NC License & Insurance points?

North Carolina and Florida both take part in the Drivers License Compact (DLC) which requires member states to report back to the state in which a person is licensed violations that occurred out of state that the driver was convicted of.

The motor vehicle laws of NC allow for convictions occurring outside of North Carolina to be recorded on your driving record but points are assigned only for convictions occurring in North Carolina to the best of our knowledge. If it is a serious traffic offenses that would result in a suspension or revocation in NC, than you may have these penalties in NC once they are notified of the out of state violation.

Even though points may not transfer or be assigned, if theĀ FL speeding ticketĀ makes it onto your NCDOT driving record, than your insurance company may see it the next time they pull your MVR. At that point, depending upon your insurance provider's rating system; it could affect your insurance premiums. Your North Carolina insurance agent would be able to advise you on how this Florida speeding violation could affect your insurance points and thus your auto insurance premiums.
