    My buddy got the same ticket in MI. Paid $300 to lawyer and they changed it to a parking ticket or something like that for $150. Total cost $450, nothing on the MVR.
    It depends on the state too, if you get a ticket in TN for example, a lawyer won't help

    Yep, that's my understanding. I've never gotten one of these but I remember there was a LOT of discussion on this when it was enacted.
    $2750 for the driver & $10,000 for the company.
    I also agree... I'd be calling a good.... no wait.... an excellent, DOT attorney.
