    yeah....I guess....sorta.....you must be on an Android......

    But nevertheless.......he's got a point. Lots of places are looking for hostlers / yard switchers too. You'd be some kind of bad arse backer after a year or two of that.

    Point is, life ain't over, it's just different.......happens to most of us at one time or another.......head up, chest out, rock on!!

    3 years is the timeframe for record keeping. in utah though. points drop in half after first year. gone after second year.

    but points isn't the issues. it's all about the tickets. to which you have 3 years. might be different from state to state but generally it's 3 years.

    most companies want no more then 1 ticket in 12 months. 2 tickets in 36 months. 3 tickets in 2 months is going to be very hard.

    and yes. yoiu've already plead and paid the fines. no way to go back and pleade. unless you haven't paid the fines and now have warrants. then you might still have a chance.

    Can't judge you-my right foot gets heavy too, when I have proper following distance. Can you give a few details, are all of these speeding tickets? I was pulled over a few times myself in the last years. Always appeared in court, never admitted guilt, hired an attorney when needed- no convictions... yet
