If you get an out-of-state ticket, you’ll need to resolve the ticket with that state in order to avoid potential suspension of your driver’s license in your home state. Most states participate in the Driver License Compact (DLC) or the Nonresident Violator Compact (NVC), which allow states to process traffic violations across borders and exchange information about driver violations.
Unless you live in one of the two states that don’t participate in either agreement — Michigan and Wisconsin — the DLC and NVC ensure that your home state will be informed of your violation and can even suspend your license until you resolve the matter with the other state. No matter where the violation took place, drivers with tickets typically pay more for auto insurance following renewal of the policy.
