Looks like I found an answer to my particular question:
Quote:
Does an out of state speeding ticket go on my record?
Generally speaking the traffic ticket will be reported back to your home state and points will be placed against your driver's license just as if you received the ticket in your home state. Do not believe the officer that tells you there will be no points on your license so just send in the money. He has no idea of the law in your home state. There are numerous exceptions so you need to contact the DMV in your state to verify the effect of an out of state speeding ticket. For example, a North Carolina driver who exceeds the speed limit by 15+ will have their license suspended. Pennsylvania, New York, and Colorado will not post out of state speeding tickets to your record.

Good thing I don't live in North Carolina, eh? In Illinois it takes going 25 over before the reckless driving kicks in. Of course, Illinois drivers, and specifically those from around Chicago, have a reputation in the surrounding areas. We return the favor by complaining about how slow everyone else drives.
