2nd 15+ speeding ticket question...

Have you read that section either?

It states on Table 2

If the driver operates a motor vehicle and is convicted of:

I would say you will be losing the license for 60 days.

 

The first thing to read is this:

(c) Disqualification for serious traffic violations. Table 2 to § 383.51 contains a list of the offenses and the periods for which a driver must be disqualified, depending upon the type of vehicle the driver is operating at the time of the violation, as follows:

Notice the word MUST.

Then look at table 2.

The first comment is :

If the driver operates a motor vehicle and is convicted of:

Then you go to the next column:

For a second conviction of any combination of offenses in this Table in a separate incident within a 3-year period while operating a CMV, a person required to have a CDL and a CDL holder must be disqualified from operating a CMV for . . .


You have a second ticket, not convicted yet I believe. If convicted of ANY OF THE CAUSES in this table.

Please note number 1.

You have not stated how fast the ticket was for the motorcycle. If it is over 15 mph of the speed limit then you have problems.


I do not know how to make it clearer.

A second conviction in a 3 year period WILL result in the loss of the CDL for 60 days.

 

Since this is you second conviction(or will be) the vehicle is irrelevant.

Medic's right no license 60 days the day your convicted.

 

Go back to table 2 and read the 3rd column.


For a second conviction of any combination of offenses in this Table in a separate incident within a 3-year period while operating a non-CMV, a CDL holder must be disqualified from operating a CMV, if the conviction results in the revocation, cancellation, or suspension of the CDL holder's license or non-CMV driving privileges, for . . .


Column 2 will be a problem. Column 3 can be a problem.

Was the speed ticket on the motorcycle OVER 15 MPH of the speed limit?

IF SO, YOU WILL LOSE THE LICENSE.

Do not let it be a conviction.

You need an attorney who will understand the quoted 383.51 of the fmcsa in order to get this resolved.

You can discuss this till you are blue in the face.

With a conviction of over 15 mph of the speed limit, it can be interpreted by the courts as reckless driving and you would lose the license.


I really hope that you enjoyed the higher speed, because you are now going to pay the price.

 

Fine don't believe us. Pay your ticket and move on.

They are gonna suspend your license.

Both your tickets carry six points in OH's system and if I am reading their law right your gonna be required to take a course and retest.

So to recap, call a lawyer or pay the fine(my vote is pay the fine).
