Hydroplaned in personal vehicle. Got citation for failure to maintain lane

Get a lawyer. Should be easy to beat. Probably cost you 1500$

 

Doubt you'll be fired. Don't report it until it's settled; you haven't been proven guilty of anything yet.
Hire a lawyer to help and maybe he can even get the charge dropped completely, then you won't have anything to report.

 

There’s no distinction between being in your personal vehicle or a commercial vehicle. Get a lawyer and try and get it reduced to driving too fast for conditions or something similar. Whatever the ticket ends up being in the end is what you’ll have to report to your employer because that’s what will show up on your MVR. Don’t go in Monday and tell them about the ticket. Keep quiet until you’re convicted of something.

 

This cmv career is such BS that one little infracture creates a Royal Stink storm.

Especially if it occurred in your personal vehicle.

These Frikin Trails up here they call roads are a joke.

 

You are lucky you did not get cited for speeding too fast for conditions, which is what comes to mind when you are hydroplaning. Or equipment defects, tires etc.

I cannot emphasize the keep mouth shut.

 

Either to fast or bald tires. Hydroplaning is like water sking, get up to speed, away you go. Of course your situation is different..right. No speed, and great tread on tires.

 

Omg get with it, go fight the ticket, not a big deal.

Most likely it was caused by your tires, if you were honestly going under the speed limit.

 

what was the speed limit..??

hydroplaning can happen at as little as 35 mph's....

try and talk with the prosecutors office for maybe as eat belt infraction, and tell him/her you will still pay the full fine...all they want is the money.
