    I have wanted to be a truck driver for the past 5 years but my driving record is not exactly clean- two speeding tickets in the past three years one going 32 mph over the limit and a possession of marijuana ticket in a motor vehicle. With this record, would it be plausible to move to a different state, get a liscense there then apply for a job driving truck? Does criminal/traffic violations stick with you wherever you go?

    I do not think it counts if you did not inhale.

    Answer (1) Yes, it IS plausible to move to a different state.

    Answer (2) Yes, your record(s) precede you, so in other words, you can't run away from your problems.

    .

    He can be president, but not a truck driver. We should pee test politicians.

    See how long your DMV keeps tickets on your MVR. Some states its five, some its two years

    If we did that, then non-born American's can become President.

    Do you really wanna see Arnold become president?

    Wasn't he the governor that pushed for illegal aliens to get driver's licenses?

    IF so, what on earth will he do next.??
