If I get a traffic citation in another state, will I get points on my Pennsylvania driver's license?

If you receive a traffic citation for speeding or a similar violation in another state, you will not receive points on your Pennsylvania driver's license. If you fail to respond to that citation, it could impact your license in Pennsylvania. If you receive a DUI in another state, you could face penalties in Pennsylvania. For more information on Pennsylvania's Point System, check out the Pennsylvania Points System Fact Sheet (PDF).

It blew my mind the first time, too. What also blew my mind was that the Maryland cop that pulled me over at 85 in a 55 leaving Baltimore WASN'T a dick about it, while the cops around me pull people over just to fuck with them.

In my experience, if the MD cop was a State Trooper; State Troopers in most states tend to be all business and don't act like dicks if you're not acting like one, whereas local municipality police are the ones who have the chance of being total dicks without being given a reason.

This is a valid point. If you act correctly on being stopped, and aren't raising flags to some specialized drug corridor or high crime unit, state police are usually quite businesslike. They're also much more likely to have recording equipment and strict rules about turning it off.
