    This is humorous, but sad. Now he is a reckless scofflaw, but if he gets a sleazy lawyer that will pay off a diabolical judge, then he will make a stellar employee.....boy, have we sunk to a new low.....young man you did the right thing, and you will be ok. Crawling under the table only works for the moment....never long term.

    This is a rhetorical question, so no one raise their hand, but who has not run 15 over at some point in their life........Kind of like when Jesus said "that the man without sin could throw the first stone......"

    15+ isn't reckless driving it's excessive speeding.

    Wrong my friend. At least in Ohio. 15 is wreckless driving and can throw your ### in slammer. Cousin is a highway patrol officer

    Just to pick a nit, were you "mistakenly" doing 15+...?

    Insurers know they're not called "driving habits" for nothing. If the typical truck drivers chooses to operate their truck any differently than their 4-wheeler, it's only to exceed the typical 4-wheeler level of obliviousness.

    But I doubt this ticket is going to substantially affect your employment opportunities. There are only oblivious 4-wheelers entering the industry to choose from.

    Drivers are getting short again so you'll find something. Go talk to the Russians that pull Fed Ex out of Chicago, 15+ MPH over should be right up their alley LOL

    Well yes and no. I knew I was speeding and braking the law at the time, but looking back it was a mistake, a bad decision, never said I was accidentally speeding, that would be an entirely different statement

    I think as far as a commercial driver is concerned it carries the same weight.
