    That's probably the easiest way to lose your job or your career minus a serious accident. People see that on your record and you can forget getting almost any job, particularly anything worth your time. $2750 I believe plus whatever it's gonna cost trying to get it reduced. Best of luck, he's gonna need it

    $2750 is the max fine and would probably take an accident or worse to get that kind of fine

    I found a lot too. None of which says if it is a moving violation.

    Ok then there's your answer.Calif said it isn t on your driving record but it is one point against the driver.Every state is different so I suggest looking up info on the state where this occurred.

    I think I'd be more concerned about him keeping his job and profession over wether it's a moving violation or not.

    Talking on the cell is a BIG no no.

    Definitely hire a lawyer for a reduced charge. You'll still pay the fine. But the priority is to keep that off his record.

    Did he get an inspection also? Or just a citation?

    Moving violation really isn't the chief concern as someone already pointed out. It's the fact that his company's insurance provider is gonna have a fit he's working there with that on his record. I'll be surprised if he's not terminated, it's probably gonna be too costly to the company to keep him
