Talk:Driver License Compact

Untitled
Speaking as a non-US person, this article could benefit from a definition / explanation of the word "Compact" in this context. Gibsocol 13:23, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

¶ I amended the History segment. I put in exact and correct info on the Beamer Resolution where the Wiki originally said only "the Beemer Resolution [sic: with two E's], passed in the late 1950s." Researching this I found that more than a dozen websites - some of them put up by private law firms - similar referred to "the Beemer Resolution passed in the late 1950s" (with the same misspelling and vague date), an indication of the enormous influence of even Wikipedia's errors. You're welcome. Sussmanbern (talk) 12:54, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Article is (accidentally) misleading for some users!
This entry, while apparently accurate, provides incomplete information and is therefore misleading. In particular, drivers in states that are listed as not being members need to be aware that driving convictions out of state are likely to apply in their home state. I am such a person, as a Michigan resident (MI is not a member of the DLC). On December 23, 2006 I received a speeding ticket in the neighboring state of Indiana. Internet research including Wikipedia led me to believe that a conviction for this non-serious (i.e. not alcohol related or a license suspension, etc) would not appear on my Michigan record. I was wrong, and the speeding infraction conviction appeared on my Michigan drivers license record, with the associated points. A phone call to R. Wilson, Director of the Office of Traffic safety at the Michigan Driver and Vehicle Information Center at 1-888-SOS-MICH (1-888-767-6424) netted the following information, which I will paraphrase:

"Traffic convictions in all states are reported to the home state, and assessed points according to the home state's point system. This is because all states are now members of the National Driver Register (NDR)."

I did some research on the NDR and have found the following website helpful: http://www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/departments/nrd-30/ncsa/NDR.html Note that it defines the NDR as follows: "The National Driver Register (NDR) is a computerized database of information about drivers who have had their licenses revoked or suspended, or who have been convicted of serious traffic violations such as driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs." If the information I received from the MDVIC above is accurate, then the mission of the NDR must have been expanded to include regular civil infraction traffic tickets.

I will edit the DLC article to include a reference to this; more information from corroborating sources is desired.

DLC member information somewhat out of date
According to the CSG's National Center for Interstate Compacts, https://apps.csg.org/ncic/Compact.aspx?id=56, Massachusetts joined the DLC in 1988. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.232.127.34 (talk) 19:42, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
