I received an obstructing traffic citation in NV. For the record, to my knowledge and such, I was not obstructing traffic (if any should happen to come along in the early AM when I got the citation (not likely)) nor was I illegally parked. At the time of citation, the officer would not allow me to talk, much less would he field any questions. He had some serious anger management issues and would only yell.
I have never had a ticket in a commercial vehicle and at present have no points on my record. I went online and saw that obstructing traffic is considered a moving violation (even though you're not moving.) Or at least in some states, or what ever. I just came here because i have a lot of research to do and thought I might get some tips first.
My concerns are 1) my insurance rates, 2) having points on my record, like in case I should get more points I don't want these 3) my insurance rates 4) my insurance rates.
Where do I find out online details about the point system? When will these fall off? Also, where do I find out online if this is a moving violation in NV and in CA where I have my license. And how does that work, like if it is in one state and not the other etc. But I'm just kinda thinking that this is a moving violation everywhere, or for cdl purposes they have a unified system.
When all is said and done, I can't see me taking the time to show up at the Justice of the Peace and tell my story. I can pay $195 online and be done with this. I just want to know mainly how the chips will be falling after that.
Thanks ahead of time for any tips and for setting me in the right direction to research these things.

Not all violations make it back to your home state to be recorded on your DMV. I know this for a fact. And this goes for your CSA also. But in most states, 2 points per year usually comes off a DMV record. -
CA does recognize out of state violations. The question is will NV report it, which I have no idea??
In a CMV, points are multiplied by 1.5.
Yours is minor and 1.5 points assigned (1 pt x 1.5)
Class A & B drivers are allowed 6 pts in 12 months, 8 pts in 24 months and 10 pts in 36 months. Then they intervene by probation the first two times you go over and 1 year suspension the third time you go over.
It looks like your points drop off at 3 years since they score on 3 years of events.
Not until you are at 6 points are you considered a negligent driver. Your insurance should be okay.

You have to be really bad to get a 2 pt violation. Most common ones are 1 pt. -
Two years ago, in Va., I went thru a DOT check and received a citation for a violation, it has yet to appear on my CSA or DMV and I live in VA. I spoke with a friend of mine who is a retired VA Trooper and during his last years on the force, he was a DOT man and he told me that thinking everything makes it into the computer is a myth. Friday afternoon, quitting time, "I ain't going to take the time to go thru all this" and it finds the trash can.

I know states like LA have clerks that do all that dirty work behind the scenes.
OH use to back in the 90's, they wouldn't report you unless you had 3 tickets in their state. Then they reported them all. It might of changed by now?? NE reports. -
I'm from VA, and I know for an absolute fact that VA recognizes tickets/citations from every state. Most of my family and even extented family works at the DMV. A single point violation? Unheard of in VA! As far as I know, points start at 2 and can go up to 6 on a single violation. I got that from my mother who manages a regional office here. As for reporting...just like PA (commonwealth like VA) they do their best to get them all in the system. I have no idea about NV. Of course some slip thru the cracks hut not many. As for the universal CDL point system, there is no such thing unless you are referring to CSA. Each state has their own "point system". And for the record, EVERY DMV in the US is linked. The CA DMV can see exactly what VA has on file for you. Your MVR follows you everywhere, no matter the state. But the question is, do all states report to the home state? That I do not know...
