Thank you for asking Tom.
Utah and California are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC). This means that the Utah courts will share information with the CA Department of Motor Vehicles about speeding ticket you received, if you plead guilty and are convicted of it. One is usually convicted of a traffic violation by paying the fine assigned to the citation by the court.
According to the CA DMV if you receive a speeding ticket out of state there will be an assigned points to that. The speeding violations are only assigned 1 point according to the CA violation points assessment listing for out of state.
Basically, the CA DMV should be informed of the Utah speeding ticket and then place the violation on your California driving record and assign it 1 point.
Goodluck!
