I'm a resident of PA and was traveling home from New York and was pulled over for cell phone use. It's 5 points in New York and not sure if it transfers to PA or not. I have no other points. Plead guilty and pay it or hire an attorney? Not sure what to do.

Thanks,

It's a bi@#$, but I have been told most Judges believe "Ignorance of the law is no excuse."

Not sure how it works in PA, but here in MD, points do not transfer from other states. Your best bet would be to call your local Motor Vehicles and ask them.

Actually, it appears PA is the same as Maryland. Because they are members of the DLC, the points do not transfer. It could still show up if you don't pay the ticket (or fight it), but you won't get the points.
