How many points for a speeding ticket in Arizona?

Answer 1

Arizona and California are both members of the Drivers License Compact so if you pay the fine for the CA ticket (thus are convicted of the charge), CA DMV will send this information on to the AZ DOT According to the California Department of Motor Vehicle's violation point assessment listing, an out of state speeding ticket is a 1 point offense on your AZ driving record. This normally would get recorded onto your driving record once you are convicted of the Arizona speeding citation. However, Arizona puts 3 points on your license for speeding, not 1, therefore the penalty may come as 3 points to you when CA reports it to AZ. If Arizona offers you defensive driving school in lieu of a conviction for the charge, you might want to consider this option. Ask the AZ DOT, if you can take the traffic course, you may also need to contact CA DMV to find this out.
