What does the Non-Resident Violator Compact provide?

The Non-Resident Violator Compact is an agreement among member states that facilitates the handling of traffic violations for drivers registered in one state but cited in another. It specifically focuses on improving compliance with traffic laws by allowing member states to communicate and share information about violations that occur out of state. This ensures that if a driver receives a traffic citation while visiting another state, that citation can be forwarded to the driver’s home state for appropriate enforcement, such as notifying the driver and potentially imposing penalties.

This compact is aimed at ensuring that drivers are held accountable for their actions while driving out of their home state, promoting road safety and compliance across state lines. The compact does not focus on protecting international drivers, setting guidelines for road safety, or addressing issues related to unlicensed drivers, which distinguishes the Non-Resident Violator Compact's specific purpose and functionality.
