A: If you didn't have a CDL, I would have told you that you don't need to worry about points transferring to your PA license. Pennsylvania would take no action on any points you may receive in VA. The only concern I have is whether that offense in VA is considered a "serious traffic offense" for federal DOT purposes. If it is, that could hit your CDL. You should seek a free consultation from a VA traffic attorney and try to ascertain whether that offense is one you need to worry about. Best of luck.
