635 (named for Rep. John V. Beamer, R-Indiana),[2][failed verification] states were automatically given permission to form compacts in the areas of traffic safety.
[3][4] According to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators,[5] Nevada repealed the authorizing legislation in 2007,[6] although it still generally conforms to the agreement through regulations.
[4] Some US states share information and act on driving violations in certain Canadian provinces, in a similar way to the compact: The National Driver Register (NDR) is a computerized database of information about drivers who have had their licenses revoked or suspended, or who have been convicted of serious traffic violations such as driving while impaired by alcohol or other drugs.
State motor vehicle agencies provide NDR with the names of individuals who have lost their "privilege" or who have been convicted of a serious traffic violation.
When a person applies for a driver's license the state checks to see if the name is on the NDR file.
