Ticket Reciprocity



Hey all you savvy drivers out there!

Does anyone know if Illinois has a reciprocal relationship with Michigan?
I got a speeding ticket over Labor Day '96 in Michigan and another over
Labor Day '97 in Michigan.  The first one I deserved; the second was
towards the end of a 400 mile trip that I recognized was on the anniversary
of my prior ticket.  I was really taking it easy, but got caught on a
steady downhill road where I didn't realize I had started going fast.  Not
that it matters...

So, I'm considering shopping my car insurance for the first time in a
decade, and I need to know whether our two (and only) violations are on my
record here in lovely Illinois.  The first ticket had no points -- I think
it was 75 in a 70 zone.  The second may have had points associated with it.
 I know Allstate has never said anything.  I guess they're happy enough to
get our $2000+ of premiums per year, with no claims ever (except for two
accidents where the other driver admitted fault and had their insurance
company foot the whole bill).

So any advice on whether I should stay with a company that I have a long
history with as well as any thoughts on what my IL driving record looks
like in an insurance computer.  Yeah, I know, all 1's and 0's <g>.

Thanks for the help,
