Think I just screwed up my chance getting into trucking.

Description: EXCEEDING MAXIMUM SPEED: 84 MPH IN A POSTED 55 MPH ZONE Speed Limit: 55 Recorded Speed: 084 Location Stopped: U/S 50 E/B @ EXIT 32 AT SANDY POINT Annapolis MD
I just pulled a old ticket offline I received I only had to pay 160.00. Is this a bad thing?

 

If you just pay the ticket...same as pleading guilty. Go to traffic court, or call the court and ask what to do to get traffic school....it will be better on your record. But if this is the only ticket...ever...and not a reckless, you won't have any problems getting into trucking.

 

not citing for reckless...no problem, just speed.

 

I was being tailgated by some friends following me,she started following too close so I sped up the police through the lights and pulled out his hiding spot.she pulled over ahead of me. Officer walks to the car and ask me was she with me and she was lucky she pulled out of walking distance cause she was gonna get a ticket too.

 

He was melting out there on the asphalt.

 

Lawyer up. I got my first and only speeding ticket like a month after getting my CDL in Florida back in 07. Got tagged doing 92 in a 70 on I-75 in Naples. Needles to say it was rough getting a job after that. But its one ticket, so fight it.

 

Don't waste anytime getting this fixed. It will usually take about 30 days for this information to post to your MVR.

Take Care.

 

if your record is clean. you might be able to do traffic school for a first time offense only. still pay the fine. but ticket stays off the record.

otherwise, you'll have to fight it. most companies frown at anything over 15+. and some don't even like 10+.

the main thing to think about, is that courts don't really care about your record. they just want your money.

i paid $450 plus $650 for lawyer. the ticket was changed to logbook violation. and no record of it happening. csa or dmv
