This is incorrect. It is only reported on a CSA if there is a DOT inspection involved. The average local yokel isn't even authorized to do a DOT inspection. The police report is for insurance purposes only.

But you are right about a cop not being able to report anything to DAC. Not even sure why a cop would be mentioning DAC.

 

1st it depends on the state and local..... in TX and GA almost all LEO can do DOT INSPECTION, 2nd if you check csa points come from 2 places and only 2 places dot inspections ( tickets and warnings count the same) and accident reports.. i have the book in the truck

 

I got points for missing trailer registration in new mexico

 

Accidents have to be DOT recordable crashes. That is not the case with a fender bender on private property. It would be the case if someone rear ended you on a public road.

Q: What data will CSA use to track, measure, and evaluate carriers?
A: The CSA systems will use the following:

• Crash reports provided by the states for DOT recordable crashes.
• Roadside inspection reports provided by the states, and all violations listed on the reports.
• Violations discovered during interventions conducted by state or federal investigators.

Q: Many times an officer may not give a driver an inspection report following a driver inspection; will CSA be able to capture these inspections and use them in the system?
A: No. If the officer did not complete a roadside inspection report, the inspection will not show up in CSA. Instruct drivers that if the officer did do a complete driver inspection, the driver should ask for an inspection report. However, please be aware that there are several reasons the officer my not have completed a roadside inspection report. Examples include the following:

• The officer did a simple "traffic stop," not a roadside inspection.
• The officer was not a MCSAP/CVSA officer. Only officers that have been properly trained can conduct roadside inspections and submit reports.
• The officer did not do a complete inspection (simply checking a driver's license or log does not count as an inspection; the inspection must meet the North American Standards established by CVSA to be recorded as a roadside inspection).

Ho Ho Ho. Merry Christmas!

 

I like it.

 

Thank you very much! Makes it easy to recognize the truck. Now if only Craig would let me put lights up

 

That is so cute!!! I had canes and a big stocking two years ago, and strung lights and ornaments across the top of my windsheld....nothing since then...LOL

 

FYI any Christmas lights on the outside of your truck or along windshield can cause you to get a ticket. I learned the hard way a few years ago. Bah humbug!
