? about reporting ticket to Dept of Highway Safety

It is not a parking violation and must be reported.

WAHWAH: In writing through the DMV, Secretary of State, or whatever the name is for the function that issues driving licenses in that state. All states have a requirement that the information be offered in writing. This is no different that the federal rule I mentioned earlier for truckers.

 

Layer or not, how does a speeding ticket get reduced to a parking violation. I guess I'm kinda nieve...?

 

Thanks, That's good to know.

 

Cfiteam,In the state of Florida if you recieve a citation you have 30 days to respond to the court,guilty or not guilty.You as a driver do not have to report an out of state conviction from California to Florida.That is handled by the individual state agencies through the drivers license compact between states.As others have said you do have to tell your employer within 30 days after conviction but parking violations need not be reported unless your company has a different internal policy.My company said parking violations need not be reported but I reported them any way.California cited the driver for vc 23333.Under Florida statues this equates to 316.1945.A non-criminal,non-moving violation.Now I know the driver may want to run down to DMV and get a copy of his abstract to see what shows but depending on the states envolved it could take as little as 3 days to show up or as long as a few months.My parking tickets have never shown up as long as I paid the fine.

 

The states communicate with each other. I received a warning for insufficient tread depth on a trailer tire in Indiana. I live in Michigan. When my car insurance policy renewed, the premium was higher. I contacted my insurance company and was told the warning ticket was on my Michigan driver's record. I explained that the tire belonged to my employer, and the insurance company lowered my premium to its previous level.

 

You have contradicted yourself here in this thread.

First you state all convictions must be reported to the company and now you are indicating that the ticket must be reported. After all, the conviction turned out to be a parking violation.

 

Florida abides by the FMCSA rules.Drivers don't report, states do.Fmsca 384.209.I know Florida cdl manual states what you posted but that rule was legislated in 1986 by congress.Things change.Florida may have it's own regulations regarding out of state convictions but I doubt they supercede federal law unless they can show due cause to the welfare of the public.Your on the right track though,Contact highway and public safety and then contact the feds at the fmcsa.And yes,trying to get a straight answer from any goverment agency is like pulling teeth.I've got time so let me know what goes on and I'll look into it further so you don't get "more confused".

 

I know that for Washington state we are supposed to report any convictions to the state but...........having said that, I never have and have never heard anything from the state
