QuestionInsurance Question  I just received a speeding ticket on my commute to work this morning. I have a Pennsylvania drivers license but received the ticket in the state of New York. I saw a similar question about someone with a New York state license, but was wondering if I will receive points for my violation for the PA license in the state of NY? I read about the Drivers Compact with the 46 state agreement but was still very curious.

AnswerAuto Insurance Answer

As you mentioned both New York and Pennsylvania are members of the Driver License Compact (DLC) which allows the 46 member states to report driver record information between their motor vehicle departments. Each state can make up their own laws and rules for what they do with that information though.

The answer regarding your speeding ticket you received in NY is that in PA even though the out of state citation will be reported to PennDOT, this minor offense will not appear on your driving record unless you are a CDL holder and points will not be assessed to your PA driving record.

You can find out more information with how PA deals with DLC issues at their DOT site of www.dot3.state.pa.us/fact_sheets/index.shtml.Once here look under the Driver Licensing area and you will find a Fact Sheet on the Driver's License Compact.

If you are in need of PA insurance you can get an online auto insurance quote here.
