Will an out of state traffic ticket show up on CA driving record?

Most definitely. However, you may get one break that hasn't already been detailed in previous answers. Depending on how close you are to your renewal date of your insurance, your MVR (motor vehicle record) might not have been updated as timely with the out of state citation. In other words, if your insurance is renewing on June 15th, and you received your Florida citation May 1st, and perhaps received a CA citation on May 5th, it is possible that only the CA citation appeared on the MVR ordered/updated by your insurance company at the renewal. This means that you may receive a "free pass", but only for one renewal period as the citation will almost undoubtedly show on the subsequent renewal.

Is your drivers license from California? If so, then quite possibly yes, because they use two things to report tickets. A) Your drivers license number; B) your insurance policy number.

Yes, you usually get points for out-of-state violations. However, it might not show up right away.

Yes it will since the CDL for truck driver came into effect, all states are linked, concerning tickets

Yes it most certainly will. My brother in law is an over the road truck driver. He got a ticket in Florida that showed on his license. We live in Ohio, and it was also not only on his drivers license, but his CDL as well.

Yup! States exchange that information. And insurance companies do too. Most of the time you'll get the points for your home state, not the state where the violation took place. That could be higher or lower.

Yes, It will show on your driving record no matter where you live. It goes through the State you got it and they send to the State that you reside in so they can keep up with it. It will affect you ins. and your points on your licenses. This is so when people cross state lines they can keep tabs on others that break all laws and such. etc. Each State does this for each other. They can't elect to not do it. Especially since 9/11.

Yes. Insurance companies do not check your driving record with the DMV, they check your driving record using a national motor vehicle report (MVR) which will lists all tickets that you did not go to traffic school for and accidents (at fault or not) for the past 3years.

Sorry "Big Man", but all the states subscribe to a national registry of motor vehicle violations. When your California license needs to be renewed, the state RMV, will run your name and social through the computers, and your ticket will pop up. This may bar you from getting licensed until it is paid, and entered into the computer as paid. If you get stopped for a motor vehicle violation, and you get "run" it can pop up again. What the cop does then, probably depends on your initial attitude. Be nice and stay out of jail.

Yes.

It shouldn't as you had the traffic violation, out of state, so it wouldn't/shouldn't effect your CA license. But don't quote me on that. Each state has there own wacky rules about things.
