Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests License and registration question...Sandman??

That could be your insurance companies fault. They only check the status of your license so often, and have a tendency to forget to do that if you haven't had an accident in a long time. Sometimes the communications between states is screwed up (it's a government operation afterall :rolleyes: ), but usually all violations get reported as they should.

Pete- I sent an answer to your question, check your PMs.

Tell me about it....

Sandman maybe you misread what i said.

Here is what i got from NYSDMV.com
If I get a moving violation ticket in another state, does it affect my New York license or points?

New York DMV does not record out-of-state violations committed by NYS drivers in other jurisdictions, except for out-of-state alcohol or drug-related violations (e.g. DUI) and moving violations committed in Quebec and Ontario. Therefore, except for violations in Ontario and Quebec, points are not added to your NYS record for out-of-state violations.

However, if you fail to answer a ticket or pay a fine for a moving violation in any state except Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon or Wisconsin, your NYS license will be suspended until the ticket is answered or the fine is paid. A driver from any state, except the six listed above, will have his or her license suspended for failure to answer a moving violation summons or pay a fine in NYS.

If you are convicted of an alcohol or drug-related driving violation in any state, your NYS license will be revoked for at least six months. Otherwise, except for convictions in Quebec or Ontario under special agreements, out-of-state traffic convictions are not recorded on NYS license records and do not carry points.

Out-of-state drivers ticketed in NYS should contact their home-state DMV about the affect of a conviction in NYS.

In IL it's the Secretary of State's Office that controls license/registration. The NVC provides for an agreement of reciprocity, meaning that if your home state is in the NVC and you fail to pay a ticket from another state in the NVC, you can look forward to a suspension.

So, Pete, did you get busted or what? You still haven't read the PM I sent you.

Oh yeah, they get sent to my e-mail and I usually just read them that way. Thanks again though

All went well, didn't see too much police activity on the way there or back, which is good because my friend was pushing 90-100 on the highway.

However it did remind me how bad my suspension is

hey sandman,what happens if you get a speeding ticket, fail to show for court, and is left unpaid?

I don't about any where else, but here you would have a bench warrant issued for your arrest.

Depends on the county, and sometimes even on the judge. Typically they issue a warrant for your arrest, but put geographical limits on it. Thus, the warrant is only good in the issuing and surrounding counties. This is because they do not want to extradite you from a distance for a simple speeding violation.
