I got speeding ticket in delaware with New Jersey license, do I get points on my NJ license?

OK, READ ME FIRST.

Wow...what a bunch of crap answers....well not all of them, but still, come on people. If you don't have a good answer, keep your clicker off the button.

Reciprocal agreement? Yes, that's right. And I can tell you that the two states DO have a reciprocal agreement. Theoretically, you're supposed to get thepoints.

However, I've noticed that most(?) things aren't reported anyway. If it's serious offense, then more likely I think. I got a traffic violation in PA and it wasn't reported to NJ till 2yrs later cause I tried to ignore it. Even then, I just paid it and no points or anything (should have been worth points). PA has the same DMV relationship as DE with Jersey, so I'm inclined to thnk they're not going to report points.

It's more likely that your car insurance company will search neighboring states to discover the offense.

You get points in the state that issued your license. Delaware will send that info to New Jersey.

If there is a reciprocal agreement between the two states then yes you will.

You can run but you cannot hide.

yes.

Of course you do! They wrote you a ticket USING your NJ license!

Usually if you get a ticket in another state, you just have to pay a fine to that particular state. I got a ticket in Utah once, and just had to mail them $25.00.

if they transfer them, then yes

It looks like you will. NJ and Delaware do exchange points. They are both part of DLC...so is NY, but we don't except out-of-state points.

yes....Delaware will send that info to New Jersey

You get points on your driving record. It does not matter where the license is from.

Eventually. States share this information now.

Here is Q&A I found which tell me that you do get points. Sorry about that

Q I live in New Jersey, however I received 2 tickets in Delaware. One for driving 5 over the speed limit (60 mph in a 55) and another for aggressive driving. Delaware has informed me that my violations total 8 points. My question is this, since I'm licensed in NJ, will NJ assess points to my driver license and if so, how many? Thanks!

A The state of New Jersey belongs to two Interstate Compacts. These compacts allow member states to exchange information regarding driving records to ensure driver comply with the law and that they receive penalties for violations. One part of the Nonresident Violator Compact, that NJ is member of, requires drivers to fulfill the terms of traffic citations received in member states or face the possibility of license suspension in their home state.

NJ is also a member of the National Driver License Compact that ensures out-of-state violations become part of your home (NJ) driving record. New Jersey has decided that out-of-state violations are assessed two points for each moving violation. This should mean that your 2 citations in Delaware should be only 4 points on your NJ license. To keep you license from being suspended though make sure you take care of your Delaware citations.
