Compact Drivers License States
Have you ever gotten a ticket out of state and thought that it wouldn't show up on your driving record at home? In 90 percent of the country, being from another state won't save you. Forty-five of the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, have signed the Driver License Compact, a multi-state agreement to share driving records of non-residents with their home states. The agreement applies to both minor violations such as speeding as well as major ones like DUI, but doesn't include non-moving violations such as parking tickets.
