Out of State ticket

[Techwonder]

I live in CT.. I get a ticket in NY.. 75 in a 55.

I know about that 48 states share information but I was told by a CT detective that is mainly by request only to prevent serious violators from getting a clean license from a neighboring state. When issued a ticket, the issuing state doesn't actively call your home DMV and 'rat on you'.

Any other thoughts on this? Should I just pay it?

Of course NOT!!!

SUch an injustice. Hell, New York isn't even a state anymore. They left the union when Clinton moved to Harlem and now they are a possession so you have every right to break the law there and feel safe and secure in Conneticut.....until you try to renew your license

You are confusing the "Drivers License Compact" with the "Non Resident Violators Compact". Connecticut is a signatory to BOTH.

They do have some 'overlapping' concerns as noted at:

Since there is some duplication in their intents, both are currently being combined into one 'Drivers License Agreement'.

I also noticed that CT does not assess points unless you are convicted after a hearing.

I would assume that if I pay the NY ticket and not go to court, CT won't apply points to my license.

Am I reading this wrong?
