    Protect your drivers license. It's worth what you will spend on Roadlaw or another traffic lawyer to fight the ticket. Get it changed to something lower.

    The one issue with the new job might be their insurance. If you get hired and have some time in they still might want to drop you. If you are making excuses already as to getting caught then you gotta squash that way of thinking fast. Always pay attention to everything all the time!

    Sure, try that for a few years, then you will have someone doing it to you. Also some of us remember when the whole country was 55, it sure was a big country then. And we had to deal with ohio.

    Bad yes but, Not the end of the world. Forget waiting till your court date. Get a ticket lawyer now. Someone suggested road law, I recommend cdl consultants. Get it cleaned up and go about your business. It was just you turn to get caught.

    I concur with kemosabi49 100%.

    I'd concur more than 100%, but then I'd come off sounding like some dumb, cliché deodorant commercial.
