    Default Speeding Ticket In New Jersey, Ohio License

    Hello,

    I moved to New Jersey recently. Got a speeding ticket in NJ but don't have a NJ license yet. I still have an Ohio Dr. Lic.

    21 over 46 in a 25. Speed trap and a half.

    The officer didn't make me pay on the spot which i hear can happen. He also mentioned since i have an out of state license it might be best to pay the ticket since he doesn't think the ticket should effect my license (ohio).

    However, i'm looking to get a NJ one in the near future. Yes, i know it's supposed to happen within 60 days of moving here.

    Questions:

    1. Does this show up as points anywhere? Like, would it show up once i apply for a NJ license? I'm not sure how they associate my Ohio Lic number to well.. anything. I would think to just not give them my Ohio number to run at the DMV. Just use a different ID (6 points of Identification) and take the driving test over.

    Can i just shrug it off? (likely not). Could i just write a letter explaining my side and hope they toss it?

    They have my Ohio plate number and Ohio Dr. Lic number but I don't know if they can actually use that.

    Situation is a little strange. Wonder what people would suggest. It seems they just gave a ticket to someone they might have no way to actually track less somehow they can make a link. I did give them my insurance card and vehicle registration but, i don't know if they can really use that stuff either.

    oops a little follow up.

    It appears that NJ will forward it back to ohio and it'll probably be put on my record but I don't think it will put points on my OHIO license.

    However, i'm curious how this might work.

    Ohio gets notified, then i get a NJ license but does it come with points that should have been assessed? Kind of like, well we gave you a ticket and it should have come up.

    Kind of strange

    Try researching NJ and Ohio statutes for laws titled:

    Non Resident violator compact:

    Driver's license compact.

    That was the determination of my "follow up" post. It doesn't appear Ohio assesses the points however i'm curious if I then apply for the NJ license if they'd magically appear.

    I don't think anywhere in what i've looked through it clearly states a situation like that.

    Its simply breaking a traffic law in a state you don't reside then finding out you've gotta go live there. Do points accrue in a state you don't techically live before you become a resident?

    Your real problem is not the points, it is the insurance. NJ has the highest insurance rates in the nation and this ticket will eventually show on your NJ license. Try going in and talking to the prosecutor prior to your court date to see if you can work out a deferment.
