I recently got an advisory letter from the Illinois SOS about two recent speeding tickets on my license. I received both tickets in Michigan but live in Illinois. I read that there is an agreement between most states called the Interstate Driver License Compact where they will share information regarding certain types of traffic convictions, and reports on traffic violations and suspensions are forwarded to the home state of the nonresident. However I also read that that Michigan does not participate in this agreement. So how/why did my Michigan tickets end up on my driving record if there is no exchange of information between Michigan and Illinois?

because you earned them??

btw, the consequence for speeding isn't the fine or even the points toward your licence being suspended -- the consequence is when you get your auto insurance bill !!

It's not as if Michigan is another country. I'm surprised there's no federal drivers record through the DMV which would show your record everywhere automatically.

I suggest you get a Canadian citizenship and driver's license, and then you won't have to worry about the American government screwing Americans and ignoring every crime by foreigners.
