Need Lawyer in CA

I wouldn't worry about it. Most states don't even recognize Calif. and or OHIO. Most of us get tickets in those two states as they target truck drivers. You might ask other truckers in Georgia but , more than likely it won't show up on your dac.

 

It may not show up on your DAC right away but it will show on your driving record.

Get a lawyer to minimize that charge.

You have to be carefull in dismissing these things because the way they get written can be seriously damaging.
This ticket will probably find it's way to your home state records.
Technically, you're supposed to report it to your employer so he can report it.

The terminology for statutes in one state can mean something much worse in another state.
What might only be 1 or 2 points in Cali might translate into something with many more points in another state.

You have a nasty ticket right there. It's like 1mph away from being 15 over & that my friend is a reckless driving charge.
Look that particular charge up in you handbook. Look at the one next to it for being 10 over.

Don't screw around with this one.
It could mean the difference between having a future & not having one in trucking.

 

Man, you have GOT to pay attention in Cally. I once got a ticket for making a pass in the third lane going up El Cajon empty. I wasn't gonna stay behind those slow trucks in the two right lanes, but I learned fast to tow the line and creep up the hill single or double file no matter how light the rig is. Cally is serious about the lane restrictions.

And they're serious about truck speed limits, too.

I was in the third lane (of four lanes) for only about a minute, but I still got busted for 109 bones. I paid it, as there was no fighting it. I even had those guys mail me back a receipt just to make sure I had no issues later with a supposed unpaid fine getting my CDL suspended.

Don't dick around with Cally, my friend. Get a lawyer and let him fight this ticket for you. OOIDA may be able to give you the name of a good lawyer in Cally that does this sort of thing regularly. Cally makes a good portion of its revenue from the big rigs, especially those from out of state. You'd better believe there are lawyers in Cally that make their living solely on fighting truck speeding tickets.

Yeah--get the lawyer. See if you can get it dismissed.

 

HI there,
Are you sure about that 40 speed limit? Where were you? If you were going down the Cajon Pass the limit is 45 not 40. This could make a difference as to how far over the limit you actually were.

Good luck,

All I know is I got a ticket for third lane going down the grapevine about 3 yrs. ago. My state doesn't recognize calif. or ohio. It never showed up on dac or driving record. Also got a speeding in Ohio never showed.Maybe Georgia is different , ask other truckers from Georgia. I'm sure most vhave had tickets in Calif. If they (calif) can't find anything wrong , they make something up.!!
