    you have proven you cannot obey the laws of the road. if you were to come to my school and i saw your driving record, i'd tell you to find a school that teaches cooking or auto mechanics. you have just told any future employer you are not wise enough. i wish you well..........but in another industry.............none of us here need to here a whiner about how he feels unjustly ticketed for his transgressions.

    Over the years I've seen a few people die in horrible ways out here...It happens!
    If I did not contribute to their demise...I don't let it "rent space in my head"...Life's too short to carry that kind of stuff around with you.

    For some they can separate these issues...for me, I still have "thoughts" about some of the crash victims I dealt with in both the Medic side and the Mortuary side...especially the crotch rocket that plowed into the back of a pick-up truck doing 120+, the truck was doing 35. Young driver with his fiance...I guess they are together for eternity now!

    Two fifteen-overs within a single month. 'Nuff said right there. Don't bother getting a CDL. Not worth your time and money if you can't get a decent job for your investment.

    Put at least three years between you and those tickets, regardless of what you are able to get them reduced to, and maybe try then. For now, you are uninsurable as an OTR driver.

    I wouldn't put you in one of my trucks if you can't tell the difference between 45mph and 60mph. Speed seems slower when you're higher off the ground. Your perception of 45mph, if it's that bad in a car, will have you going 75mph in a truck. No, thanks.

    Wow, I'am sure glad all these other posters are such excellent drivers that they have either not gotten caught or never exceeded the posted speed limit.

    You guys are full of crap, each and everyone that has driven a car or a truck could have received 2 tickets in a short amount of time for the same violation, and if you say I'am wrong they your a liar or you have ever driven.

    There is not much you can do after you've been found guilty its going on, however before you can probably take traffic school for the last one when you go to court ask the judge for traffic .

    If he says no to that ask if you can plead to a lessor charge such as seat belts or coasting neither have a point count on your license.

    If your found guilty of both you will still be able to get your cdl, and obtain a job but it may limit yor choices to one of the bottom feeders like Knight or one of those.

    Good Luck watch your speed. The next ticket will remove all doubt.

    i haven't had a speeding ticket in the last 10 years. wanna know why? i read the signs. if it says 55 i set my cruise at 55. if it says 65 i set my cruise at 65. i dont know why people feel the need to go 80 when the sign says 65. are you really in that big of a hurry to go home from work? is your casino really that exciting to get to to spend your money? i just seen a accident the other day where a person driving a suv was speeding, lost control, crossed the median and hit a semi head on. guess who lived and who died? the difference between 55 and 60? 2 minutes. the difference between 55 and 80? life and death. think about it.
