Can a Ontario driver loose points for violation in NY and Pennsylvania state?

I have ontario driving license and I got two traffic tickets in less than a month.one in Pensylvania over speeding 19 mph and the 2nd in new york for using cell phone without hands free device.will I loose points for these violations on ontarios license?

Yes!

New York state has an arrangement with Ontario and Quebec as related to points for moving violations. Ontario has arrangements with New York and Michigan in the same regard.

Within the United States, THE DRIVERS LICENSE COMPACT requires member states to report tickets received by motorist to the state where they received a license to drive so as to receive points and get an insurance hike. Also when a state suspends the license of a driver who is from out-of-state, the state where the motorist received a license to drive will also suspend their license.

I have been unable to find anything regarding reciprocity of points between Ontario and Pennsylvania.

No, American agencies are not reporting to Canada. You will not lose any points.
However, if you do not pay the fine, the next time you get pulled over in those states, you will be arrested and your vehicle will be impounded. Cops can pull up your history through the computer in their car.

Nope, last time I checked the two jurisdictions were not connected in any way and our computer system wouldn't know what theirs was doing. There is no reciprocal agreement so you are off the hook, points wise.

no canada and US are 2 different countries. just pay your tickets and dont get it into a warrant status or you are screwed.

Yes.
Got a ticket in British Coumbia, Canada in the 1970's.
The insurance company here in the USA recognized it?

Just pay the fine on time. If you don't there will be a warrant issued for your arrest. Then, you have bigger problems.

In the future, you have to know the laws for the state you're driving in, and each one is different. NY is one of the states that has a cell phone law, and they do enforce it.


CCC
Possibly if they Ont finds out. The us and canada do share records. If your insurance goes up you will know.

I would call an insurance co, not yours and ask them this scenario.

If i had a bad record moving from the US to Canada i would not be able to get a new license there for a while let alone insurance I could afford. I know I moved north. I had a clean record but I had to bring in my US driving record.

only if there is a reciprocation treaty between Ontario and the states mentioned ... otherwise the tickets won't show up on your driving record (jn Ontario)

It depends on Ontario's policy for points received in other jurisdictions.

I would believe that the only way is if the U.S. States sent notice to the Provence in Canada...........

Yes, you can get in a lot of trouble. Slow down.
Are you kidding me, Yahoo is still broken?
What are they going to do, suspend YAnswers the entire time Obama is on his world tour?

Depends on licensing conditions!


FRAGINAL-NOYPI
Canada is a separate country. Thus, violations in the US will not accrue as points in Canada.

You will keep getting tickets if you don't obey the traffic laws.

Yes you will...as both States have "Resciprosity" with Canada...

mandi_85reform

Congratulations for all your success. Two U.S. states and a Canadian license just shows that what another area can get away with. Please be care and obey the law because the next time you might be as lucky.

No, but you might "tight" points.

You will not lose points for your Ontario license. The US polices databases are not connected to the Canadian database; they have other things to do so don’t worry. If you did not pay your traffic tickets, the only problem you may have is if you get arrested again in those States where you got unpaid tickets. Going 19mph over the limit is about like going 30kmh over the limit. To be safe, don’t go much over 10mph in the US.

Only If the USA and Canada have an agreement on the matter.

No, but you will be forced to have an illegal Mexican family, (of eleven), move in with you for three years.
