Someone explain to me how getting a ticket in another state will affect your driving record in your home state.

I got a ticket in MS and just paid it, I live in TN and it never affected me one bit.

Am I missing something here?

 

reciprocity

 

Please explain, I have never heard of that before.

 

It means the two states have deals with one another.

"You show me your tickets, I'll show you mine."

 

For doing 73 on the highway? I've never seen anyone driving 55 in a 55.

In Michigan you can hire an attorney to fight the traffic charges, they talk with a prosecutor & "make a deal" to pay the fines & forget about it or put it under advisement (meaning if you don't get another ticket during that time then your all set) They don't do that in Ohio?

 

Did you read any of this thread?

Need help getting out of a ticket in Cinci-Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Story is below:

I received a ticket a couple days ago while traveling through Cinci-I had just crossed the border of kentucky/ohio & was going 73 in what I thought was a 65-Turns out it was 55 anyways I got a ticket for the whole thing-73 in a 55-The problem is that I have a ticket in michigan that is under advisement & if I get this one for 18 over I get a careless too!-8 points combined Bamm! NOT GOOD Really need some help!!! It says on the ticket that i have pay the fine or go to court @ 1:00 next Friday-they sure don't give you much time & give the court date on the spot wild!

 

i'd have to say hire a lawyer and fight this if you don't want insurance hikes, possibly ask for supervision, if you're granted that you cannot speed for like 6 months or so (depending on the judge) and it won't go on your record
