I got in a wreck that was my fault. I crossed over the center line and crashed into another vehicle. I received a ticket at the time for crossing over the center line with a crash. Does this translate into noone will hire me ever? Am I blackballed for years to come? I have 10 years driving and a clean record otherwise.
I hired an attorney to fight for a compromise before the trial. I guess it didn't work because he is telling me it will go to trial. I wonder if its even worth fighting in court since I'm so obviously guilty? I'd have to travel 1000 miles to fight it. I'm sure I'd be lying the whole time, but isn't my career worth it for the next 5 years or however long this will affect me? I expect some negative comments, but what would you be thinking or maybe you've had the same situation?
Has anyone ever received a ticket for an accident?

you may not be black-balled, but you are going to have a hard time finding work right now. pay any fines and be done with it. DO NOT LIE, you will make matters worse.
think about how you can rectify the situation. re-training, safety courses, etc,etc. put your best foot forward and work from there. -
I know some states will let you erase it, if you take a safety course and pay a fee.

however,, that ticket may very well show up on the CSA Driver Dataq.........
and if it does, then it will stay there for 36 months, no matter when it's off his state DMV record..........but beware, no DMV record will be completely clean, only the immediate years worth of infractions drop off, but in total, ALL tickets, accidents, fines, stay on your record for life. -

Personally,
I would NEVER pay a ticket............
Fight them ALL, it's your license=protect it at all costs !!!!hunts2much Thanks this. -
The ticket should be the least of your concerns.
How about the impending law suite that is about to smack you up side the head? -
