Reckless general non-speeding

You sir have now a battle on your hands.

This is one thing that will threaten your CDL.

You can expect to be either suspended, revoked and more exactly flat unable to touch a CMV for that period of time. I cannot imagine the fines against you as well as points that will stand against you for three or more years. It might be serious enough to be branded into your driving record for 10 years.

You better be very groveling and beg mercy and explain that you flubbed your motorcycle and it almost got away from you. If under questioning you smile and say it was fun... they will throw the book at you. And that will be that.

In short a quote from Virginia...

CDL Suspension Due to Accumulation of Certain Offenses

A CDL will also be suspended upon conviction of a reckless driving violation due to having committed certain prior violations.

If the driver has already been convicted of one of the following violations his CDL may be disqualified for a certain period of time (see details below):

Speeding 15 or more mph over the speed limit
Reckless driving
Improper or erratic lane change
Following too closely
Commission of offense relating to motor vehicle traffic control that results in a fatality
Driving a commercial motor vehicle without first obtaining a CDL or a Commercial Learner's Permit
Driving a commercial motor vehicle without a CDL in the driver's immediate possession
Driving a commercial motor vehicle without the proper class of commercial driver's license and/or endorsements for the specific vehicle group being operated or for the passengers or type of cargo being transported
Violation of an offense related to texting while driving, regardless of whether the offense was committed while operating a commercial motor vehicle
Violation of an offense relating to operating a commercial motor vehicle while using of a handheld mobile telephone

If the driver has been convicted of one of these offenses while operating a commercial vehicle within the three years prior to the commission of the reckless driving ticket his license will be suspended for 60 days (or 120 days for three prior violations.) § 46.2-341.20.

If the driver has been convicted of one of these offenses while operating a noncommercial vehicle within the three years prior to the commission of the reckless driving ticket and both the prior offense and the new reckless driving violation resulted in a suspension, or revocation of his privilege to drive his license will be suspended for 60 days (or 120 days for three prior violations.)

 

That is why I say. If you are employed and are convicted... you probably will be going home a while UNEMPLOYED.

IF the state decided to punish you for no touching anything with that suspended or revoked license then you are going home a while. And probably not collect unemployment. Or drive anywhere.

 

See, you should get a Harley, then no danger of pulling the front wheel.

 

for sure get a lawyer and fight but before you do maybe try and talk to the prosecutor and explain the situation where you will lose your job . most prosecutors will work out something that you plead no contest too that won't affect your cdl ...like a seat belt ticket .... unfortunately we have to fight every ticket and more guys get into more trouble in there personal vehicle than the truck and it counts the same against your cdl

 

Youre Only Hope is to get an ASA certified mechanic to write out a notarized statement ...Claiming something to the effect of a "sticky,binding throttle cable stuck and he repaired it for $336.Faulty Equipment...Maybe a lawyer or "more money to the court" Could Salvage you.Just what Id try

 

I"m curious as to how one gets one of them OH #### moments and accidently pops a wheelie.

I"ve been riding 36 years and have yet to encounter anyone who's throttle just accidently opens itself up.

Anytime you get a ticket. A lawyer is always wise. Some states will allow a citation change. You still pay the fine and you won't need to go to court. There's an additional lawyer cost on top of the ticket. But you need to protect your cdl and stop doing those OH #### wheelies.

 

have the lawyer plea it to like maybe a inop brake light, or broken mirror, BUT PAY the full amount they want, cuz that's all they want, the money.

this could be your ONE AND ONLY TIME, you may be able to get this reduced..the NEXT TIME, you may not be able to have this reduced....as YOU WILL BE ON FILE now......
