    Co Driver doing 65 in the 55 on I 84. Pulled over and cited with 811.111 of the Oregon's commercial vehicle code.

    Cited for 10 over speed limit. Considered a Class D Traffic Offense which is said to be the lowest form of traffic offenses in oregon, but we are from California and Oregon doesnt have a point system.

    How will this fine translate on to the CA DMV MVR. Will he get a point on the CA system?

    You will get 2 points on csa scale. You cannot get more than 8 in two years.

    In the eyes of the California DMV, speeding is a 1 point violation regardless of whether it occured in California or out of state. The mph doesn't matter.

    CDL holders are held to a higher standard -- every point 'earned' in a commercial vehicle is worth 1.5 -- so he will have 1.5 points on his CA dmv record. 4 points and the DMV will suspend your license.

    https://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/driversafety/neg_operator.htm



    And if the 10mph speeding violation was noted on a roadside inspection form, then the company will get 12 CSA points (4 points for 6-10mph over times 3 multiplier for being less than 12 months old). Those points will also appear on the driver's PSP.

    Ouch.. whats sucks is I came out the sleeper, sat down and said "man, dude you are going way to fast" he was really going 68. 2 min later, flashing lights. The trooper was pumped up. "Why were you going that fast? Huh? Huh? Huaaaaaaaaahhh? " "calm down sir", my co driver said lol. "We are in the middle of ####### nowhere! What the ####?" My co driver pleads.

    The cop responds "does this look like Texas" my co driver "no,Texas is like 75/80" ............Awkward Silence. ......"get the #### out of the truck" the cop responds in an attempt to be as calm as possible.

    Me! Rolling on the floor.

    Good times. Thanks for the info.
