got a speeding ticket this past weekend driving through PA, DOH. live in NJ anyone know if any points are involved that i should bother going to court over? ive heard rumors that out of state tickets dont give points but never had that confirmed. any help be great,,, (note it was 84 in a 65, i blame the lead foot my stage kit gave me lol)

 

2 points for that one in PA
(i have had my fair share of run in with the po po in PA)

 

you could say that again!!!


But i dont think points travel outside the state you got the ticket in...Atleast mine didnt

 

alllllll depends on how much over the limit you are going

Generally speaking the traffic ticket will be reported back to your home state and points will be placed against your driver's license just as if you received the ticket in your home state. Do not believe the officer that tells you there will be no points on your license so just send in the money. He has no idea of the law in your home state. There are numerous exceptions so you need to contact the DMV in your state to verify the effect of an out of state speeding ticket. For example, a North Carolina driver who exceeds the speed limit by 15+ will have their license suspended. Pennsylvania, New York, and Colorado will not post out of state speeding tickets to your record.


i would still call to make sure

good luck

 

I got a ticket in PA i live in NY. No points just mad money.

 

hmm, mayb i should call the DMV or something to see what they say, laws change so many times lol.. if its two points it not a big deal to me, clean so far, so we will see.

 

yah points arent carried over, just pay the fine and your on your way.

 

update** as stated on the NJ DMV web site i found my answer NJ DMV
points do carry over but at a rate of two points from what i can see.
kinda sux damn NJ lol,, damn me really

 

so your state makes you carry them over?

 

thats what im getting from teh website, but its not teh full amount of points its a flat 2 point no matter the reason for the ticket.. if someone else gets a different thought on that link i posted let me know.

 

I know here in Michigan the follow you home, I got a speeding ticket in Indiana and it was 4 points and it went on my record

 

Yep.. all depends on the home state. If they have an 'agreement' ( for lack of a better word ), then the points transfer over. Kinda like how some states honor other state's conceal and carry permits and such.

When I lived in TX and came home to PA to visit I got a ticket ( 38 in a 25.. thought the road was 35 ), the points and ticket itself never appeared, and the insurance never knew about it.

Sorry that they transfer over.. BUT if you play you pay.

 

I'm pretty sure they've upped the points. 6-10 is 2 points 11-20 is 4 points now, so technically if he lived in PA it'd be 4 points.

From one leadfoot to another - double check the PA points system. They just re-did it within the past 6-8 months or so and dropped the minimums WAY down and bumped the points WAY up. BUT in exchange you can start getting points taken off after a year instead of after 2 years.

 

Kind of funny, there's a link at the bottom of this page about NJ speeding tickets.

 

It's a "smart search" displays ads based on thread content. So it read "ticket" and "New Jersey" and matched it up to display that ad.

 

yeah i just ended up paying it, should be 2 points, if i feel the need ill pay the 70 bux take a course and have em removed, but i know in NJ after 1 year of no infractions ill loose the two points so all good.
