I am driving from DC to san diego next week. Was planning on doing it friday, july 1, because there will be few speed traps beginning of the month. But i want to leave sooner...

2 questions..

1) will i see speed traps and cops looking to give tickets just in local roads, or also major interstate highways? I know it is 2 different types of cops, just not sure if their situations are different

2) I got a ticket last month in maryland, 1 point on my license. If i get a ticket in another state, do the points count? Will it still affect my insurance? I honestly dont mind paying $60, big deal, but i am a 23 yo, and insurance is ridiculous for me. So i dont want that to go up.

THANKS!

 

I've driven cross country a few times, I don't remember ever seeing a single speed trap. Maybe I'm just lucky though. Buy a radar detector for the trip.

someone must have haxored into my account and r uploading viriis

 

you'll see traps in Ohio, sometimes Missouri. check your state's dmv to see who it has a reciprocal agreement w/ to see if states exchange info w/ yours.

 

from what i remember about out-of-state tickets...dont count as points, all you have to do is pay the fine.

 

Beware Ohio as has been mentioned. Also check out:

Ohio is bad, but Arizona and Colorado should also concern you.
