You'd have to have quite an arm to throw a stone from NY to VA.
OP, unfortunately I think people are giving you misleading advice. In general, if you get a ticket out of state that would be considered a point violation in your home state, you will be assessed the points if they find out. This is due to the Interstate Drivers License pact.

The only states that are not party to this agreement are Georgia, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Tennessee.
From FL gov website:
If I get a ticket in another state, will I receive points on my Florida driving record?
Yes, if the violation is an offense that earns points in Florida. For example, if you get a speeding ticket for going 14 miles above the speed limit outside Florida, you will earn 3 points on your Florida record. It does not matter how many points the other states would assess against their drivers-Florida treats this as though the ticket was received in Florida.
As far as how many points, it looks like it could be up to 3:

I had this happen for a FL ticket while living in NJ. It took awhile, but they found out. You may want to reconsider how to proceed.
