Virginia is part of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) but Tennessee is not a member of DLC. Still, TN does acquire information from other states regarding moving violation convictions.
If the Virginia courts notify the Tennessee Department of Safety regarding the speeding citation, if you are convicted of it, then it will likely go on your TN driving record. According to the TN Department of Safety if you are convicted of an out of state ticket, such as speeding in VA, and their courts notify the TN DPS that the offense will go on your driving record and points will be assessed.
