Lawyer For Out of State Driver with New Jersey Tickets
Call: (215)-799-9990
Unfortunately, it remains a common incorrect belief that traffic tickets received when driving out of state will not follow you home. If you are an out of state driver with NJ tickets, it is extremely likely that your home state will apply the applicable penalties to your driving record.
“But,” you may ask, “why would your home state care about tickets received aboard?” Well, because an agreement termed the Driver License Compact (DLC) in which 44 states and Washington D.C. have agreed to exchange information concerning both license suspensions and traffic violations of out-of-state drivers. Before you begin scouring the internet to see if your state is one of the six not bound by the DLC, understand that the few states who are not a part of the compact have all made similar agreements, and that all 50 states share information regarding traffic matters. The result is that you will need to address any traffic violations or License Suspensions, regardless of where they were issued.
