Well 1 ticket in the reckless category is not a pleasant thing! I wish him well.

Well there you go lesson learned -- get lawyer as soon as you get a ticket --dont tell anyone and hope it works out. Shows you what being honest will get you, and since now you know the results why bother.

I go down the Cajon Pass with the 45 mph truck speed limit many times, maintaining 45 mph or less as the load demands, and trucks are often blowing by me well over 60 mph (which in itself is over the 55 mph speed limit). Any trucker that considers they are "saving time" by blowing down hills needs to heed the experience of the OP. Last time I went down Cajon one of those super truckers blew by me and got nailed, and I'm sure it will be an expensive lesson for him.
My CDL is my most valuable possession, and I protect it. Use the appropriate gear and the jake to hold your downhill speed within the legal limit.gpsman, luvtotruck and Chinatown Thank this. -

A lot of fail in this thread. You never report a violation to an employer until conviction unless there is an inspection to go with it. It takes two major violations in three years to get a 60 day suspension. The driver needs to get it knocked down to 14 mph or under if he wants to work for anyone decent in the next three years. A 15 over is not a reckless driving ticket, that is a separate charge itself, and only a few states require for a fixed speed over the limit, and PA isn't one of them.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
joseph1135 Thanks this.
