I got a speeding ticket in PA but I have a CT license. Will the points transfer from the ticket. Also, the ticket just says 89 in a 65, but not points, just a fine. Will I get points on my license if pleaded guilty?

Pennsylvania and your home state of Connecticut are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) meaning that if you are convicted of the speeding offense by the PA courts they will inform the CT Department of Motor Vehicles.

The CT Department of Motor Vehicles typically assigns points to a person's driving history if they are convicted of a violation but not if you make a payment in full and dispose of your case. The CT DMV stated to us that if you hold a Connecticut Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) then the violation would appear on your Connecticut record.

However if your license is a regular license, Connecticut will not transfer the out of state violation to you record or assign points. The only time Connecticut would take action on this violation is if you do not pay the ticket and PA ticket and then the Pennsylvania courts contacted the CT DMV and requested them to suspend your license for non-payment or failure to comply with the speeding citation.

So in your home state you will not receive points on your license however in PA they may start a record and points total for you. In Pennsylvania it is 4 points for being convicted of speeding 24 mph over the posted speed limit.

Since the CT DMV should not place the PA speeding violation on your Connecticut driving record it is doubtful that your insurance company would find out about this moving violation conviction and thus it would not likely affect your rates.
