I've been driving with this company for almost a year now. I haul from California to various locations across the nation.
A few weeks ago I was coming through the desert in California on I-40 going east. I was on that long hill just before Needles. It was just after dawn and I guess I got a little carried away with coasting down the hill. I got pulled over for doing 81 in a 55. I NEED A GOOD ATTORNEY.
The officer also gave me a ticket for not holding my lane. I don't remember wandering. I was probably going around the bumps in the road, but I guess that doesn't matter.
I guess, each ticket is 1 point for most people but since it's California and I'm a CDL holder it's 1.5.
.
Running in various States where speed limits are 75 makes 55 seem like I'm crawling. I can understand keeping trucks to 55 in the cities. Narrow lanes and lots of traffic make California tough to drive in. But, I can't see making us do 55 out in the desert on a road that was originally designed for higher speeds. My truck will do 75 and I'm pretty much used to running close to that speed.
That ticket is for 26 miles over. Pretty #### serious looking. I'm afraid the insurance guy is going to be pissed.
Now they've got my attention. I haven't let my truck get anywhere close to that in California since.
I would guess that quite a few people have ran afoul of that draconian speed limit.
Any suggestions & advise would be appreciated.
