Car Insurance Question  I just got a ticket in Kentucky for reckless operation 6 points and I live in Ohio. Does the ticket or points transfer onto my license in Ohio?

Ohio and Kentucky are both take part in the Drivers License Compact (DLC). This agreement requires members to report back to the state in which a motorist is license in any out of state traffic violations. Thus the KY DMV or courts should report to the OH Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) this traffic ticket for reckless operation.

We have heard 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.

If points are now being assessed by the BMV for out of state offenses then it would likely be 4 points on your record. In OH it is 4 points for willful or wanton disregard of the safety of persons or property, which is what most states regard reckless driving as.

If Ohio does place this Kentucky reckless operation (reckless driving) violation on your driving record then when an insurance company next pulls your motor vehicle record (MVR) they will see it and depending upon the company's rating system your premiums could be affected.
