Your driving record starts fresh when you get a license in a new state, BUT your INSURANCE RECORD follows you around, where ever you go.

All states are linked now so if you have a hold on your license in one state when you go to get your license in another state they won't let you get your license until the hold is removed in whatever state that is.

Frankly, there was a time not too long ago that, even though it was supposed to happen, because of operational issues between States and departments, it didn't always occur. Now, with computers and national databases, the concern for DUI/DWI and other drivers jumping state to leave their past behind, it virtually always does. No. A new license will not have accrued points from another state, but the the insurance penalties, if any, will not change. Shared information relates to persons who have had their license suspended or revoked for whatever reason.

Do points from a traffic ticket in South Carolina transfer to your driving record in Maryland?

Yes there . Both states are members of the Interstate Drivers License Compact. The Drivers License Compact consists of 45 states and the District of Columbia. States not included are Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The states in this compact exchange information on moving violations committed by nonresidents with the state where the driver resides, so that that information can be added to the record of the driver. Thus your out of state moving violation will appear on your driving record just as if it had occurred within your own state. In addition your state would probably add licensing and insurance points to your record. It is possible that the points added in the home state may be different than if the state where the violation occurred. Some states, like New Jersey, assign two points for all out of state violations.
