Reader’s Question:

My daughter received a speeding ticket in Indiana and I am licensed in the Owensboro Kentucky. I would like to know if the state of Kentucky will be able to know about this? Will this affect her car insurance rate?

Kentucky and Indiana are both part of the Drivers License Compact which requires member states to report any offenses for other traffic violations back to the home state in which the individual was issued their license. Therefore the IN Bureau of Motor Vehicles or the court should notify the Transportation Cabinet of the speeding violation you received from a different state.

According to the Kentucky driver’s manual the Division of Driver Licensing keeps a record of all traffic violations on each driver licensed in KY. These driving records are based on traffic convictions reports, payment of fine, forfeiture of bail, with or without court appearances, which are forwarded to the Division of Driver Licensing by the courts throughout the US.

Your daughter may contact her auto insurance company to find out if this speeding ticket will increase her auto insurance rate.
