I'm pretty sure points don't matter at all to me because I don't live in VA and have an out-of-state license. When I got the one previous speeding ticket in VA, there were definitely no points involved (I had an IL license at the time). I just paid the fine and went on with my life.
Double check this just to be safe...

Out of State Traffic Tickets and Reciprocity

Forty-five states and the District of Columbia participate in the Driver License Compact (DLC). Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Tennessee are the only states that don't participate in this interstate compact.

Started in 1960, the DLC, which champions a motto of "One Driver, One License, One Record," is used by participating states to share information on moving traffic violations. So say for example, you receive a speeding ticket or some sort of traffic ticket in Minnesota, your home state of Vermont will be notified. The violation will then go on your driving record. Depending on your state, this could be in the form of points which could ultimately affect the status of your drivers license. If however, you get ticketed for a moving violation in one of the non-participating states like Georgia, for example, your home-state DMV may or may not be notified.
