I was recently pulled over for speeding in Massachusetts, clocked at
80+mph in a 65 . My insurance is in New York State, while I'm licensed
in Pennsylvania. I have no problems paying the fine, since I was
speeding, but I'm concerned about my insurance rates going up and
getting points on my license. I have heard that some states do not
report speeding convictions to other states, but I haven't been able
to find a resource that tells me what states Massachusetts reports to,
and the consequences of pleading guilty to 15+ mph over the speed
limit. As of now, the only thing that I've been able to find (as a
result of another Google Answer) is that Massachusetts is not a member
of the Drivers License Compact (DLC), but is a member of the
Non-resident Violator Compact(NRVC). However, the DLC doesn't really
seem to apply, and the NRVC only seems to apply if a person does not
meet the terms of the citation.
Ideally, what I'm looking for is twofold: First, I'd like to know if
Massachusetts reports speeding citations to neighboring states
(specifically, NY and PA), and second, I'd like to find out the
penalties for pleading guilty to 15+ mph over the limit.
Thanks! |
