Out-of-State Students: This Follows You Home

⚠️

California reports all traffic violations to your home state

Even if you're only in Davis for school at UC Davis, a traffic conviction:

  • Reports to California DMV
  • California DMV reports to the National Driver Register (NDR)
  • Your home state DMV receives the conviction
  • Your insurance company in your home state sees the point
  • Your premium increases — even if you move back after graduation

For young drivers (under 25), a single point can raise insurance $400-800/year for 3 years.

Trial by Written Declaration fights the ticket before it becomes a conviction — protecting your driving record no matter which state you live in.
