Another speeding ticket thread

I agree with @wore out
There's a federal statute that's always been on the books but it was never enforced. A few years ago, I think like 2019 or 2020, the feds started raising a stink about it and started sending letters out to DA's throughout. It's hard to get anything done with a ticket on a CDL now. It can not be changed to a non-moving for example. It has to remain as written. They can reduce the fines etc but the charge is what it is now.
The federal statute allows for a plea deal ONLY on the first offence and it has to be taken care of by the first court date which is on the ticket. If your attorney postpones it too a later date, your not eligible for the one time only deal.
The statute allows you to plead once and only once, to apply for the deal and it includes a mandatory driver course in which is approved by THAT court.
The charge isn't dropped or reduced but its hidden... There will be a reference on your licence that shows only that "There was an offence in which you plead guilty". You still must inform your employer but you don't have to tell them what the charge was. Only that there was an offence. Supposed, your insurance is restricted from raising your ins rates and you don't have to tell them what the offence was. Only that you plead guilty to an offence, which is all the see on your MVR.

Now, I will clarify... that's the case in Louisiana. They are following the federal guidelines. Some states may not abide by it. But I know Louisiana follows those federal guidelines now.
If the OP is saying that traffic school in TN is not allowed, that's fine, they can add rules, but they cant reduce the rules. The feds allow traffic schools, but if a state like TN that says its not allowed in TN, then that's their added rule, but they cant reduce it.

About the only prayer you have now is to have a situation where your attorney can get the ticket thrown out. Otherwise, you take the deal, pay the fine, go to traffic school & get the offence hidden on your MVR as "an offence".

The above is what I know about Louisiana.

To reference @Siinman : I'm not sure, I cant remember if community service is in the program or not. To be clear though, the judge can adjust the fine, even drop the fine, but you plead to the original offence as written on the ticket. It can not be reduced, but it will be hidden.
