I made a right turn on a red light that had a sign indicating there were no right turns allowed, one of those signs that light up and are only applicable at certain times of the day. I take the blame for missing it because I wasn't paying attention but I learned later that it is a real money maker for the city as a cop sits there and gets many victims each day. Anyways, it is 4 points on my record. How badly will this hurt and should I fight it? The officer said I could talk to the judge about getting the penalty reduced but if I fight it will this hurt my chances if I lose? Any advice will be much appreciated.

Notify the court that you are pleading not guilty.On the day of the case,go stand in line and talk to the prosecuter,he will let you plead to a lesser charge where no points are involved,the fine might be higher,but you don't want those points.Everybody does this it's called lets make a deal!

ok i understand some companys might hire you with a dui or dwi.. as far as some of the other charges... depends on how you where charged ie hiway traffic act or criminal. you have to check both records. lots of things fall of your mvr, but not your criminal record. some empolyers pull your mvr but not a criminal. some do the mvr first then a criminal they will wait for the 2nd one to come in. the criminal one can be do at the state level or federal level. thats the sticky part. ( some companys do an interpol search) so if you do have any thing get it pardoned oe expunshed. if you have any thing that is questionable DO NOT TAKE A JOB with a company that does do international freight. becuse forgein goverenments do check your back ground. and if if is there they will find it and your employer will know very quickly.
