My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Pennsylvania and Ohio
I have a PA driver license. I crashed into a guard rail in Ohio on the highway and left my car and the guard rail on the side of the road and went back to my hotel to take care of it after I googled tow truck companies and their methods of payment in the morning. By then the police already took the car. I got the car back and got a summons for OTHER OFFENSE: Hit-Skip (4549.02)
If I can't plead away the hit skip in Ohio and Ohio suspends my license for hit skip, what happens in Pennsylvania? Hit skip is a first degree misdemeanor in Ohio. I'm not sure what an equivalent charge in PA would be under the circumstances described above resulting in only property damage to the guard rail.
From PA's driver license compact fact sheet, I know PA will suspend license for the following in member states:
Q: What violations committed in a member state will result in the suspension of my driving
privilege in PA?
A: The following offenses, if committed in a member state, would be treated as though the offense had
occurred in Pennsylvania and the appropriate sanction would be imposed under the provisions of our
Vehicle Code:
• Manslaughter or negligent homicide resulting from the operation of a motor vehicle (Section
3732);
• Driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or a narcotic to a degree
which renders the driver incapable of safely driving a motor vehicle (Section 3731; repealed 2/1/2004)
Section 3802 (effective 2/1/2004)
• Failure to stop and render aid in the event of a motor vehicle accident resulting in the death or
personal injury of another (Section 3742);
• Any felony in the commission of which a motor vehicle is used (Crimes Code and Dangerous Drug
Act Offenses).
Although reported to PennDOT, minor traffic offenses such as speeding, red light, stop sign, etc., will
(NOT) appear on your driving record, unless you are a CDL holder. Points will not be assessed to
your PA driving record when convicted of a point related offense in a DLC member state.
Q: Do all member states impose the same suspension terms?
A: No. Some states may impose a term of suspension which is less than or greater than that of PA.
PennDOT will impose the suspension term according to the provisions of our Vehicle Code.
Nothing mentions the scenario above?
