    I may be wrong but I thought companies were only assigned csa points when violation is indicated on inspection. Anyone?

    If you did not get an inspection, then you very well may not have any PSP points....however, the points will still be what you would have gotten, and the company KNOWS THIS. They may not wish to continue your employment, as you demonstrated you like to speed in construction zones.

    You actually missed another additional 10 points by being under 15 mph over the limit, which means if you have an inspection AND the 15 mph as well..??

    you'd be at 60 points......wow.......

    Construction zones and school zones are no place to push your luck. Hell they don't even last that long.

    Get a lawyer. I got a ticket 65 in a 55, lawyer got it dismissed. Don't worry about points or CSA score until you're actually convicted of something.

    Was it posted and if it yes, was it properly posted? Sometimes they have the barrels up but there are no reduced speed limit signs. Pretty sure it's up to the construction company to put the sign up and sometimes they either don't do it of didn't do it yet.

    Cop was following me through the barrels and I was doing ~50. I knew he was back there but I never saw a speed sign nor did I see any workers. He pulled me over and I said there was no speed limit sign. I am pretty sure cops don't put those signs up because he let me go.

    ....not the end of the world. Its not on your record until your convicted.
    not sure how your company is or isn't but i seen guys get tickets with 20 mph over in a big truck and still have a jobs...
    contrary to what the sheep who work for mega carriers and have been brain washed, intimidated and threatened with lose of job every day by their safety dept., its not the end of the world.
    get a lawyer and go from there. get a good one. not a cheap bum.
