Total Ramifications of Truck Lane Restriction Violation

As long as he's driving with the flow of traffic, what difference does it make WHICH lane he's driving in? Now if you're driving 10-15 mph below the flow of traffic, you shouldn't be anywhere but the far right lane. Scratch that. If you're driving 10-15 mph below the flow of traffic, you shouldn't be on the road. Take your truck to a road where you can keep up.

 

OK the way CSA is set up Warnings cannot be DataQ'd which means the driver and carrier is stuck with it. You can DataQ the lane violation but it goes straight back to the guy who wrote the ticket-- guess what, he is not going to second guess himself.

You can still fight it in court and still possibly be found Not Guilty or maybe even a lesser charge. OOIDA is in a big dogfight with FMCSA over CSA where the driver had the ticket overturned in a court of law but where FMCSA still lists a violation.

For now just fight it try to keep it off your MVR.

 

Trucks run the third lane all the time on 294, I honestly didn't think they cared till you got in the far left.

 

It's a good thing the DOT officer didn't perform a Level I inspection. He would've found your brakes ineffective.

I see it a lot too. And I have also seen them pulled over for it. [emoji13] [emoji13] [emoji13]

 

Nice guys finish last. Stay in your lane.

 

On a tip from another driver.... I've been taking 355... Way less trucks than 294...

 

to the op if i was you id get a lawyer and fight it , when i got my jersey left lane ticket it was before all this csa bs and no big deal but anything is a big deal nowadays .
a few years ago i got into one of ohio's little clap traps on the turnpike on the westside of toledo comin into a construction zone 5 mph over the limit and i wasnt watchin my speed ..sure as hell mr. skinhead is pointin me over like im jerry reed and givin me the high hard one .
when all was said and done including the reaming from my safety directer i hired a toledo based attorney over the phone for about 300.00 buks and he basicly said they trade favors around and he could get it down to littering or somthin .
dont remember what he got the charge reduced to ( probably panhandling ) but i had to pay the original speeding fine in full and ticket would never leave wood county and never did .
in the end all anyone wanted was the vig and if ya got the cash it can all be forgotten .

 

That could be it. Only if it's crimson though.
