This also applies for commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders who are caught speeding 15 MPH or more over the limit while in a commercial vehicle. In other words, the same 1 point will be assessed against your California driving record if you were pulled over for going 9 miles per hour over the posted speed limit or 39 MPH over the limit. It is important to note that California will only put 1 point on your license for speeding in NY regardless of how fast you were traveling. However, for serious offenses (e.g. driving on a suspended license, DUI/DWI, hit and runs, reckless driving, etc.), California will put 2 points on your driving record even though the offense was committed in New York. For the overwhelming majority of New York traffic violations, California will assess 1 point against your driving record. If you get a NY traffic ticket and hold a CA driver’s license, points will almost always be assessed against you for out-of-state traffic tickets. Similarly, this also applies if you are licensed in New York and got a ticket in California. This means New York and California freely share driver information with one another. If you receive a NY traffic ticket but are a CA driver, CA will be notified about the ticket you received.
Both New York and California have signed the Driver’s License Compact.
