Thank you for asking Athena.
A ticket for exceeding the speed limit by more than 5 mph, when the limit is 55mph will typically result in receiving two points on Your Ohio driver’s record. If you received a written warning with no fines, this might be placed on your driving record.
A fine or court appearance for a written warning are not required in some states. It just sometimes serves as a warning. While other states placed this on your record and file this as a warning. You may verify this information with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles to find out what Ohio state does with written warnings.
A a probationary driver license holder under the age of 17 years, convicted with traffic violations during the first six months of having driver’s license, he must be accompanied by a licensed adult or a guardian whenever operating a vehicle during the six month period commencing on the date on which the person is convicted of or pleads guilty to the violation until that person attains the age of 17.
Your insurance company will see the violation if the speeding offense was recorded by the state patrol, when they next check your MVR, which is usually done if you make any changes on your policy.
Goodluck!

Those who are under 16 years of age are not permitted to drive in New York city no matter what type of license they hold.
If you are 16-17 years of age, you may be able to drive in the New York state and must obey New York State Operator restriction.
1. No driving is permitted within the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Richmond. You may drive in all other areas of New York State, except the five boroughs of New York City with these conditions:
* Between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m. without being accompanied, except Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
* Between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. without being accompanied when traveling to and from school or work.
* Between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

If you want to get more information regarding driving out of state with a full drivers license under the age of 17, you may call the NYS Department of Motor Vehicle.
