Speeding in personal vehicle

Maybe I shouldn't ride my Harley no more.
Um...NO!!!

 

Yeah...Always get a lawyer.Like I said in other post...I had a 64mph in a 40(was actually going 72mph..hit the brakes ,nosedive,right when I seen him.Anyway,paid $140 more to court,got it Reduced to "faulty speedometer",Non Moving Violation.No record ,or Insurance Rise.JMO

 

I've had several tickets in my personal vehicle and have never had any issues with past employers, in fact my last boss almost fell on the floor laughing when I told him I had to do a driver retraining class. It's always worth trying to get it reduced but As long as it's not in a CMV it's not the end of the world

 

Sounds like you’ve been lucky... I’m not so sure the fmcsa sees things that way. Can you point me to a section that states that?

 

And on top of that my company’s policy states that after 2 convictions of 15 or more over the limit in a 3 year period, I can be terminated. If there’s more than two years between convictions then I can be dealt with as a first offender upon VP approval.

Waiting for the officer to call my father in law back tonight. Depending on what he says I’ll follow through with contacting the DA, then a lawayer if still necessary.

I plan to update on how it worked out, for those who have offered helpful responses, and for any who find themselves in a similar situation and stumble onto this thread.

 

The company policy is probably somewhat dictated by their insurance company, and they don’t care what you were driving. Best of luck to you. I’ll tip my hat to you for owning up to your mistake and figuring out how to deal with it, most of these threads are just asking how to get out of a ticket.

 

I've never had to look for it, but I have also never done OTR for a mega so it may be their policy on it, my last one was 82 in a 55 after picking my car up at the dyno and sinking a lot of money into it. Only policy they had for tickets was in their trucks (which I never got)

Again, I would recommend slowing down as your license is your livelyhood, missing a days pay for the retraining course was no fun, nor was the increased insurance, but one ticket isn't going to make you unemployable. But I would try and fight it or get it reduced.

 

I don’t work for a mega. And this is my second ticket of this nature in 3 years, making it even more problematic... I’ll agree that I need to fight it. AND slow down from now on

 

Thank you sir
