Questions on my circumstances, fatality accident?

Will it ever go away?

 

Yep they diminish as time goes by, my point is this - nothing can be hidden if someone wants to find it. You are entering an industry where behavior, especially bad behavior (poor driving record, some felonies) is looked at very carefully.

We are all targets for lawsuits, and the liabilities of an accident are huge. Insurance companies look at the risks of operating that vehicle and every time it hits the road, the risks grow that there will be an accident. You don't even need to be at fault, I saw a video the other day where a truck was driving alone, a car came off the on-ramp, loses control and causes the truck to lose control and ended up in the ditch on its side, the driver did nothing but I bet the car driver will sue the trucking company. One reason why it makes sense to be proactive in protecting your driving record.

So let's say you get that all expunged, you get into an accident and are sued by an ambulance-chasing scum lawyer (Saul Goodman types). They will dig into everything that you did in your life, including those expunged, and he can "interject" something to raise that you were at fault for an incident and even if the judge doesn't buy it, it is a seed of doubt of your defense.

Now I am not saying this to discourage you but to give you advice and tell you the reality of this industry.

You may turn out to be a good driver but you have to learn how not to get a ticket or get into an accident.

And remember we already have a large number of crap drivers who don't need to be on the road.

 

The government records may be expunged, but the insurance companies records are forever, with less emphasis over time.
You need to learn to make a full and proper stop at stop signs.

 

Both particular cases I made a stop in the new york case the detective admitted to me that he was given instruction by his supervisor to charge me with failure to obey traffic control device even though I came to a complete stop on the dash cam. I had a witness for this but my lawyer chose not to use any of this. According to the attorney no dash cam was reviewed and all that was presented was the officers testimony the attorney only reviewed the officers testimony.

For the 2nd charge I actually came to a complete stop in maryland you are required to make a complete stop behind the stop sign if there is no clearly marked stop sign line. In this particular case there was no clearly marked stop sign line however there was a gate obstructing my vision so after I came to a complete stop behind the stop sign I rolled forward and after seeing it was clear proceeded through the intersection.

I'm not sure if you've ever went before a traffic violation court before but it's rigged most judges are former DA's and because they decide whether your guilty or not your almost always guilty even when your innocent. Your trying to convince someone who spent there life working with the officer who is testifying against you putting suspects both innocent and guilty behind bars and who is paid by the state in which the state benefits on your conviction that your innocent. The odds are not in your favor lol.

 

Assuming the system is rigged against the driver, then it becomes more important to behave even more safely. Make the stop long enough and even a rigged system will stop claiming you rolled through a stop sign. If you genuinely think the system is rigged you wouldn't even want to work in that system. Life isn't fair, so be MORE careful.

 

yah no it don't matter how long you stop if a cop wants to give you a ticket their going to give you a ticket especially if they have a quota. At least you didn't try to argue the system isn't rigged.

 

Maybe so. Everything you said doesn't really matter all that much. The bottom line is that it's on your record. Even if enough time passes, all of those issues are on your record. To insurance amd trucking companies, perception is reality. Your record suggests that you're high risk, or that a dark cloud follows you, and you have a propensity for traffic violations. You may have to wait 3 to 5 years from the time of your fatal accident. The failure to obey signs isn't a huge deal, but a pretty big one in the trucking industry. You have to pay attention 100 percent of the time in a trucking industry, for all the reasons explained by the others. Sometimes you have to make certain calls, even if they are uncomfortable. Example: a couple of years ago, my company turned our trucks up to 68 mph from 65. All of our drivers could wait to get to the terminal to get their truck turned up. I didn't care about that at all. I still set my cruise to 65, sometimes I run slower if the flow of traffic dictates it. For me, I didn't see a real advantage of driving 68 and running in clusters with the 4 wheelers at times. I feel like I can protect myself better running at 65 because I can isolate myself from other motorists, reducing the risk of accident. That's what works for me as a professional driver. Now there are drivers on here that will poke holes in my way of operating, but I don't feel comfortable operating a semi at a speed faster than 65. I still make my miles, and I still make good money. Most of all, I remain safe and comfortable.

Point is, if you have to stop at a stop sign for 1 or 3 seconds longer just to keep the dark cloud from following you, do so. Don't make excuses when you get a ticket, just do cautiously better.

 

You've got two options: find a small company that needs a guy for their truck. Be honest but not stupid with them. Or go with a mega corp that doesn't care. Give it enough time and things will clear up

 

I see so many red flags here, I feel like I'm in Beijing.

 

now this is me just my opinion. I hope you don’t ever get the truck again
