VA auto insurance quote
Reader’s Question:
I have a West Virginia license. I received a ticket in Virginia and I just want to know if this will be reported back to Virginia. Thank you.

Thank you for asking Valerie.
Virginia and West Virginia are both members of the Drivers License Compact. This means that once an individual has been convicted of VA ticket the Virginia courts will share the violation back to the West Virginia DMV.
According to the West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) points are assess for all moving violation convictions, regardless of what state they are committed in. So traffic violations you receive in Virginia will become part of your West Virginia driving record and points will be assessed.
Points in West Virginia are assigned according to the degree of the infraction. Points for a given offense stay on a driver’s record for two years after the date of the conviction. The conviction itself stays on the driver’s record for seven years.
Goodluck!
