the other day I got a speeding ticket in my own personal vehicle going to orientation driving through Alabama. I was speeding but I'm very certain I wasn't going the speed that the officer was claiming. I have one of the best radar detectors on the market it's very sensitive and I have sensors on the front and rear of the vehicle. The detector never went off. This officer only seen me visually speeding to go around someone and he took the initiative to yank me over. Yes, I know we're supposed to protect our license at all times and to never speed in jeopardize our CDL.I normally don't speed unless I'm going on long road trips in my own personal vehicle and I'm not going excessively over the speed limit. The most I'll do is 12 over. This officer claims that I was doing 92 in a 70. That is flat out a lie. Here's the deal, I've already spoken with the clerk of courts and they say if I want to fight the case that I have to physically be there in their court house that I can't just hire a lawyer to take place of my presence and handle the case without me being there. I just want to pay the ticket forget about it.
Here's where it gets serious... I want to know since Georgia does not participate in communicating with other states pertaining to traffic citations out of state, will this go on my CDL license in the state of Georgia. I really don't care about just paying a ticket off I just want to just pay it. I also don't care if my insurance premiums go up. I just don't want this to affect me getting better jobs in the future. I know of several student drivers that were turned down by big carriers because they had one speeding ticket that was over 15 miles per hour within three years.
Speeding tickets in my personal vehicle! Should I fight It?

This will go on your license.
FIGHT THAT TICKET. Do whatever you have to.
Make that cop show up and PROVE that you were doing 22 MPH over.
This is GOING to cost you. Maybe that new job. BUT FIGHT that ticket. -

Your CDL is Federal. PERIOD. They communicate. If it was just a standard license, no biggie.
But that CDL, is not a standard license. Its FEDERAL.
It will show up, guaranteed. They WILL communicate.country293, Puppage, Lepton1 and 2 others Thank this. -

FIGHT THAT TICKET.
When they new employer finds our you have a ticket, during orientation. They WILL let you go.
Anything more than 15 over and in most cases is immediate termination.
One of the items you WILL get from them is a violation summary (self incrimination). Failure to disclose that new ticket, is a lie by omission, they will terminate you.
You DON'T have a choice here. FIGHT THAT TICKET. Regardless of cost. FIGHT THAT TICKET. -
What is the source.
