Reader’s Question:

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

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.

Reader’s Question:

I am wondering if the state of Michigan has an SR-22 Bond? I am from Detroit, MI.

I recommend that you contact a Michigan Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) representative to check out if you need an SR-22 bond in their state. I was unable to see any listing for an SR22 financial responsibility certificate on their website but instead they have listed a Driver Responsibility Fee which is a monetary fee for motorist who are convicted of specific qualifying violation or accumulate 7 or more points on their driving license.

This required fee is being paid to the Michigan state and differ in the amount depending on the driver’s infractions.If you have any questions regarding insurance rule, guidelines or procedures for the state of Michigan you can contact their insurance regulatory body directly.
