Reader’s Question:

If I get a ticket in Michigan will I get points on my Arizona license?

Taylor, MI

Most states specifically state how they handle out of state infractions however I could not see a direct answer for how Arizona does it.

It is possible that it will eventually appear on your MI driving record. If the infraction substantially corresponds to an infraction of a MI law, then the offense will be posted to your driving record and points will be assessed as required by the MI Vehicle Code. If the ticket is for a violation for which a suspension would have been given if the ticket had been received in MI, then a suspension will be imposed after the posting of the ticket, allowing time for due process and the sending of a notification letter. Most states provide ticket information to the motorist’s home state. MI law requires that the same action be taken for tickets received out-of-state as those received in MI, therefore, points and suspensions may be imposed.

I suggest you contact the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles directly for an answer to your inquiry.
