A lot of state's honor other state's punishments. Can't know for sure, only guessing.

Most state have their own points system and if they do decide to punish you for a ticket out of state it will be based on their point system not where you got your ticket.
If you get an out of state ticket in California the max number points you can get is 1 point, which is what nearly all violations in California are.
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

I actually just found the official word from Penndot :

Here in NJ, any out of state offense is 2 points (or it was when I got my license). Check with your state.
I can say with certainty that NJ offenses do not carry over to PA. At least they didn't 5 years ago.

So that is good, looks like it probably won't show up in your driving record. Now you have to worry about the fine and such.

I really have no idea what relevance that has to what I said or to this thread... but I went ahead and checked the PA driver's manual to see how they handle points on out-of-state tickets.
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/dri...al/pa_driversman.shtml
Chapter 4 just says that certain offenses committed in other Driver's License Compact states (including Virginia) will be treated as if they happened in PA, and reckless driving is not on the list. That's not to say that you won't receive points though. The Pennsylvania Point System Fact Sheet does not say how offenses from other states are dealt with, nor does it list reckless driving, but if you got a ticket for 18 over in PA it would be 4 points; careless driving (a lesser offense than reckless driving) is 3 points.
So what have we learned? You may receive somewhere between 0 and 6 points on your PA license. You're going to want to check with the DMV.

That would have triggered a much larger penalty.
what were you doing driving without paying attention to the speed limit signs.
they are posted at 65; you chose to ignore them and run at 75 which is what most people hope is under the 10 mph trigger. Then you pushed pass the trigger point and got caught.
You can ignore the ticket and hope that the next time you need to either renew your license or get caught, the state will not check their records to see if VA reported it.
Because if they reported it; then you can lose your license on the spot until you get paperwork from VA showing that you have cleared up the issue.

Oh, so right! You fix the system then, Mr. elite AT lifer.
And by your comparison, you're comparing the standing up to the Jim Crow laws to speeding?... Pfft.

The last time I posted about driving the speed limit, people replied that I should "get off the road".

Believe me friend, I have no intention of ignoring it. There is a mandatory court appearance. It is a CLASS 1 MISDEMEANOR. I was technically arrested and summoned. Seems a bit excessive for a speeding violation, but it is what it is.
I lucked out being a PA driver and not a VA driver where on top of everything included in a conviction of a Class 1 Misdemeanor, I would have to pay a yearly tithe of 350$.

this may have worked 30 years ago, but tickets can show up and affect you in other states today.

I was scooting along around 75 on the 65 mile an hour highway. We had thought we had missed my exit and were a little lost so I sped up a to get around a truck. Of course I get nailed ended up getting clocked 83 in a 65.
You know, no one ever says "We thought we missed my exit and were a little lost so I slowed up a bit to let a truck get ahead of me so I could see where I was." Oh, that's because they wouldn't have gotten a ticket for big bucks and be moaning here.
