    By the time you turn 21, it will be a none issue. You should admit to getting it, and provide the dates. But it will not keep you from getting a CDL or a job.

    Additionally, were you clocked before, at, or after the sign? It makes a differance in court.

    A friend got his dismissed because he was clocked before the reduction was required (at the sign).

    Ticket will be off your 3 year record by the time you turn 21 plus you can technically say it's on your juvenile record some insurance comps wont look at it.

    any tickets that have points acessed againt you will raise your insurance.

    keep your nose clean no more tickets and take the lead out of your foot.

    I had 2 speeding tickets before I got my class B. It's not a "huge" deal but don't get anymore and do not EVER get a DUI or you will be screwed. Most companies realize that it happens once in a while but my best advice is to start driving carefully. Its not worth it to lose your license and your job to get somewhere 6 seconds sooner.

    Insurance will probably jump a bit. Sometimes 10% or more if there are points against your license.
