Is this true? Doesn't make much sense to me but hey, it would be nice.
Actually, when I got my ticket in Wisconsin, I got a letter in my home state Michigan from the "Secretary Of State", showing that I had points from it. I don't know where you live or if they do the same thing, but I'm sure that nowadays it would get reported in your home state.

HOWEVER, my sister-in-law has worked for an insurance company for many years and she said that for the insurance companies, it costs them money every time they check your record, so they really only do it unless they have to, SO if you don't tell your insurance company OR change anything on your policy, you should be perfectly fine I know that I got my speeding ticket back in January and my insurance company (Progressive) never raised me up.
