Question:

What is the purpose of West Virginia being part of the Driver License Compact?

Answer: Keep roads safer by making sure traffic violations you receive in other states end up on your West Virginia driving record

Explanation
The Driver License Compact ensures that traffic violations do not get "buried" in the state in which they occur, as serious offenses can affect your CDL driving privileges. The Non-Resident Violator Compact is what allows drivers to travel on after they accept a traffic violation.

No
