Thank you for asking William.
If you want to get information for the points listed on your driver license or driving history you should check with your state’s department of motor vehicle, or like agency, in your case its the Department of Transportation website. This permits you to send off for your driving history by filling out a form either in person at the DMV office or online. You can also call over the phone and ask information about the your points through a special phone number in WI DOT.
Your motor vehicle record (MVR) includes identifying information about you, lists any licenses that have been issued to you, any infractions you have for moving violation and the points put on your record for these offenses and administrative entries regarding your driving privileges, which will include things such as license suspensions or revocations.
Goodluck!

Do I Need to Pay Immediately for a Traffic Ticket?
Reader’s Question:
Do I have to pay on the spot for the ticket if I received one in the state of Wisconsin. I live from out of state.

Thank you for asking Michelle.
While there may be areas or jurisdictions in Wisconsin that require this for certain conviction, but generally, I dont think that a motorist needs to pay a ticket on the spot to law enforcement officer in WI due to having an out of state driver’s license.
Typically in Wisconsin if you have been cited for a ticket and simply wish to pay the fine, you may send a check or money order for the amount of the fine to the address that is printed on the ticket. Usually, police officers will remind you to be sure to include your driver’s license number and the citation number on the check or money order.
You can contact the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to find out if they can advise you if there’s any area of WI that may require you to pay a traffic ticket on the spot instead of going to court or sending fine amount to the court listed on the ticket.
Goodluck!

Liability Insurance Coverage Requirement in Wisconsin
Reader’s Question:
Is it required for the motorist to have a liability insurance coverage? I live in Wisconsin.
Rain
Thank you for asking Rain.
Wisconsin has a financial responsibility law that pertains to any licensed drivers to operate a vehicle in Wisconsin. This law is intended to make sure all drivers operating a motor vehicle has car insurance or enough money to pay for damages to others that may have been caused by a motor vehicle accident. By acquiring an automobile liability insurance policy, a surety bond, personal funds or a certificate of self-insurance, these requirements may be met.
If the driver decides to satisfy the financial responsibility law requirements by purchasing car insurance there are certain minimum liability limits that must be bought. These limits include: $25,000 for injury or death of one person; $50,000 for injury or death of two or more people; and $10,000 for property damage. The law also requires uninsured motorist coverage of $25,000/$$50,000 for bodily injury liability coverage only.
Goodluck!
