Reader’s Question:

I received a speeding ticket in LA, will this be added points in my Arizona license?

Thank you for asking Henry.

Louisiana and Arizona are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This requires all member state to report back to the state in which a motorist is licensed any conviction of traffic tickets. So the Arizona Department of Transportation should be informed by the LA DMV about this speeding ticket you received in LA.

The Transportation section of Arizona statues gives details on the DLC and Arizona’s participation. It does not say if points for out of state offenses will be assigned points or if the offense will be recorded onto your driving record.

According to the Arizona DOT Motor Vehicle Division they indeed would be informed of this out of state ticket and it would then go on your Arizona driving record and that points would be assessed. You may contact the AZ DOT to get more information on this.

Goodluck!
