Traffic violation points – Do they transfer?
I went to court today ( and lost) for a traffic violation that received 4 points for. I was in a company vehicle that is insured and registered in Pennsylvania. I have a PA license, but my personal vehicle was purchased and is insured and registered in Illinois were I am from and reside part-time. (Everything is legal and legit. My father, who is a permanent Illinois resident, is on all the paperwork. I am the co signer on my car even though Im paying) Anyway do points transfer state to state? I know they go on your license but what about in this instance? The judge was less then inclined to listen. Illinois' points system differs greatly from Pennsylvania's. This was my 1st offense and come Augest I will become a permanent Illinois resident with my Husband's military commitment.
Thanks for any input!

They will not transfer. The only thing that could be transferred is is your license gets suspended in a reciprocal state.

They don’t have to transfer. YOU received 4 points on YOUR driver’s license.

Your tickets in PA will not effect your eligibility to obtain an Illinois License. Yes, you will show a conviction on your PA drivers history but your supervision will be in PA and not in Illinois. Had you received the ticket with an Illinois license in PA, then it would have been effected. Once you surrender your PA license to Illinois for an Illinois license, basically, you start over. The only time this is not true is when your license is suspended/revoked or you do not provide valid insurance which is required in Illinois.
