I hear that some states will allow you to take defensive driving to dismiss a moving violation if it was done in your personal vehicle. For some reason, I can't seem to find which states those are as I've tried to google the information time and time again. I believe California is one of them but are there any others?

Never heard of that, not saying that's not possible. I know in NY you'll get an insurance reduction, but they won't outright dismiss a violation just because you took a defensive driving course. Your results may vary....

For several years now any citation received by a CDL holder may not be dismissed no matter what type of vehicle they were driving.
I have found that some of the smaller city or county courts will cut you a deal if you are willing to just pay the fine. -
Yup, go to that court and ask the clerk which lawyers they see often.
Trucking in Tennessee Thanks this. -

This has been discussed many times in here. The FMCSA has a rule that a CDL holder once convicted can not use any kind of a program to reduce the charge. HOWEVER this rule does NOT prevent a court from changing the charge before court. I have done this and several others in here have also. PLEASE stop spreading myths.

BS, there is NO rule or law anywhere that prevents a judge or prosecutor from dismissing a case involving a CDL holder.Cottonmouth85 and Bean Jr. Thank this.

Question:
So trying to have it reduced to something else would fall under TICKETMASKING ? -
For the record, a ticket is NOT a conviction. It is a charge. A LEO cites you that there is enough evidence to order you to court. There is NOTHING that prevents a change of a charge or a dismissal. However once the conviction is noted THEN it is a conviction as goes on your record as such.
