    So I got popped this morning trying to get around slow moving traffic. Same offramp I deal with every morning and it's nearly routine. Down shift in the GTO, get around to where traffic clears up and slow down...easy day.

    Well this particular morning there happens to be a bike cop. Next thing I know,blue and reds in the rear. Normally, I wouldnt care but I do currently hold a CDL permit and are three weeks from taking my DMV road test. My question is, will this effect my CSA score or does that ticker not start until I officially hold a CDL ?

    He wrote me a citation which pretty much means ticket,then again I'm still trying to figure out how California works. My main license is a Florida(active duty navy) but I have a pending California permit that wont cancel out my Florida license until I complete my cdl drive test (That's what the dmv tells me).

    Not here to cry about the ticket,just wondering how bad (if at all) I just boned myself.

    Not sure what county you are in, but if it is a moving violation, and you were not in a CMV but a POV, you will receive a Notice from the Court in a week or two. If the Officer used the number on the permit, you will probably have the option to attend traffic school. I am not sure if it is offered to out of state drivers or not, and if you do take Traffic School if they notify Florida of the violation. Look on the notice for an option to attend traffic school, and if it is not there, call the court, wait on hold for an eternity or your next born to be 10 years old, and ask if you can attend traffic school. For information on how it works, you can look here http://www.courts.ca.gov/9410.htm

    Thanks UsualSuspenct,
    I have been doing research and he did use the license number on my permit/temporary class c. From what I can tell, I was "awarded" a 22349 (A) and no option for traffic school is checked on it. According to my recent H6,my record is clean,however, this is before they merged my driving record from Florida and Virginia. Florida has never showed a ticket I receieved from anywhere im the past. So at this point I'm genuinely curious.

    Also, its San Diego county

    If he used your California number, you should get Traffic School. If not call and ask them, let them know you were not driving commercially at the time. Last time I did an internet course, did it in my sweats and a T-Shirt. Good luck

    Will do, the citation is definitely marked "non commercial" ,but the license class isn't marked,which could be good or bad.... My biggest concern is does a CSA score counter start with a permit or after the hard copy is received?

    I didn't know they take your drivers license when you get the cdl permit. I though they only do that when you actually get the hard copy cdl.

    It will not effect anything on your CDL as all you have is a permit.

    And I want to thank you for your service, floating around on those little boats, soaking up the sun, delivering supplies to those who actually keep us safe, as well as our helpers, the army and the marine corps. Without the Navy, I think that the real heroes of the sky, The Men of the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE would run out of toiletries.

    I don't know about other states but in California if you get a ticket in a personal vehicle you can go to traffic school. I think you'd have to hold a California license to qualify.

    From what I read on other threads on this forum individuals don't have a CSA score. I think that debate is ongoing though.

    They didn't take my Florida one yet, that's what I'm saying. I just want to be sure I don't hurt my future CSA score at all.
