Ticket for medical emergency

The right for a jury trial is available for all charges.

 

I don't know where you are getting your information, but in every jurisdiction I know (I don't know all of them), the right to a jury trial applies only to criminal charges, not civil infractions. There is a distinction. Now if this is reckles driving that is a misdomeanor in many jurisdictions and, therefore a crime that qualifies for a jury trial. But a simple moving violation that only rises to the level of a civil infraction does not qualify anywhere that I am aware of. Where did you practice law? I'd be interested t know if some jurisdictions do give a jury right for civil infractions.

 

If the State Trooper was actually tring to help you now all he had to do is not come to court that day and you can plead not guilty and it would be thrown out. I would be real careful on this one or it could bite you in the rear. I would get it cleared up first before starting any school, because once you start and they have time invested in you and it comes back to haunt you and they end up sending you home with a bill for their services and no CDL.

Many of these company sponsored schools drop a high ratio of students each class and send most of them home with a bill for school and no CDL. Happens all the time just read these forums.

 

You need to think about where you want to be in 2 years not today.
Don't go with Swift. Be patient and clear up your record.
If you can convince a jury that you were trying to save the
boys life and were not endangering any one elses why would
they convict? I am not a lawyer, but if I were on a jury
I would nulify the charges and you would walk out with no points IMO.
I would work at Walmart for a year before I would go with Swift.
Even on the cash register.

 

Please for your sake, make sure your talking to the company saftey director or the head honcho because a recruiter will tell you just about anything to get you to the school . I'm not 100% on this but that's how they get paid not that you graduate.

If it's the company saying just have them put it in writing and send it to you first. I'm not trying to talk you out of going to their training, just don't want to see you on here 3 months from now complaining on how Maverick treated you bad and fired you over a ticket. And they will becuase their insurance company would throw a fit for hiring you with a reckless driving ticket on your record.

Absoloutley a PR nightmare for them if you have a wreck and hurt someone in the future.

Just my 2 cents!
