Reader’s Question:

Will it show up on my driving record in VA if I get a speeding ticket in Tennessee? Is there any way this can be removed from my record?

Thank you for asking Angelica.

Virginia is a part of the Driver’s License Compact (DLC) that requires member states to share information regarding moving infractions. On the other hand, Tennessee dropped out of the Compact in 1997. Even though Tennessee is no longer part of the DLC , the TN Department of Safety has decided to report tickets back to your home state if you are convicted for a moving violation in TN with an out of state license.

Once the Virginia Department of Vehicles is informed of the speeding ticket that you received in the state of TN, the infraction as well as demerit points may be assigned to your driving record. The VA DMV states that this is done for moving convictions even if they occur out of state.

If this speeding ticket that you received in Tennessee or other items on your driving record cause your premiums to increase, you may speak with your insurance agent to know if theres any way this can be removed from your record.

Goodluck!
