To fight or not to Fight?

Don't know about PA laws, get a local lawyer and fight it . Maybe you will catch a break.

 

Im gonna get me a 2nd career in Internet Lawyer!! My motto is "fight it". Im gonna be known as the lawyer who says those 2 words all the time!! Ill charge you $1OO an hour to have you hear me say those 2 words... "fight it"!!!!!

Ill be known everywhere to all drivers and all companies. Ill be famous! Ill put billboards up in everywhere!

 

When you are cited for 15 mph or more over the posted speed limit, it is considered reckless driving. Some carriers won't hire anyone with a speeding ticket that is that much over the posted speed. It is considered a serious moving violation. The other should also be considered a moving violation. Both could adversely effect your career. I would suggest that you fight the tickets. It would be best to hire a lawyer and let them deal with it. There are a couple of legal organizations that cater to truck drivers. It won't be cheap, but cost less in the long run if you let this go down as written. I could not hire you due to the 15 mph over the speed limit. My insurance company would not touch you. Others are in the same situation.

 

Fight it!!! I didn't fought mines because the trooper told me if I fight it he will tear me a New ashole I was going too fast now I got 37 points on my csa for one incident

 

In PA the officer has to be present in court for it to even get considered. So GO TO COURT! He might not show up that day.

Also there's a +/- 5mph variance on commercial vehicle speedometers (ie: they aren't certified and calibrated like a patrol vehicle's speedo) so you can use that to plead down by 10mph which would make it a lesser offense.

Check the ticket for errors, (had a cop write a seatbelt ticket for a co-worker, and she put down the trailer plate! No seatbelts in the trailer your honor.) The fact that he didn't list the method of clocking might work in your favor.

Hopefully you didn't say anything damming to the officer which "can be used against you" blah blah blah.

And above all, be professional and polite at the courthouse. Goes a long way.

 

Bravo sir!

I'm amazed that the judge sided with you though, since the LEO probably pegged you before you even saw him (I'm sure you slowed down when you DID see him). But that's a cool little trick to have.
