If you've already been convicted and paid the fines, there really isn't much you can do, other than to not do it again.
Your CDL license can be suspended for two serious CDL violations within three years in any state although the requirements do vary. In some states it doesn't matter whether you receive them in your personal vehicle or in your truck and in others it does. However, I have found that they have no way to track so your CDL license is suspended anyway. You may be able to retain a CDL attorney and he may be able to get one of the speeding tickets reopended and reduced to where they will rescind the suspension. However, most companies will terminate you anyway and no one else will likely hire you.
Typically, two years. I believe a CDL driver over 55 must update them annually.
Depends on the number of previous violations the driver has and the police officer delivering the ticket. But for failure to stop at a marked intersection is generally two points. Most moving violations are two points unless it is exceedingly reckless.
Getting the CDL won't be a problem... finding employment as a CDL driver could be.
For a CDL license it is not necessarily the points anymore. They have changed the law and now your CDL license will be suspended if you receive two serious CDL violations within a three year period. In addition, most companies will not hire you if you have one serious CDL violation or two other speeding ticket violations on your record. It is not the trucking company but their insurance carrier. If you have too many tickets, the insurance company will tell the trucking company that you cannot drive. A CDL driver needs to contest any traffic ticket. If you recevie one in your personal vehicle, it now counts the same as if you were in your truck.
You do get two point for moving violations done out side NJ, with NJ license. Check out the MVC site.http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/Violations/penalties_otherStates.htmKrishna
"How many points are assessed for 'failure to wear a seat belt' in Washington state?" Washington state does not have a point system. If a driver receives four moving violations in one year or five moving violations in two years, the Driver License will be suspended for 30 days unless the driver attends a driver awareness group meeting. Typically a seat belt violation is considered a non-moving violation and is not posted to your record. In some states it does count as one point so be sure to check with your home state DMV. lwpat http://www.speedingticketcentral.com
You can get a CDL, but those two DUIs are going to make it very difficult for you to find employment as a CDL driver. Employers generally look down on that sort of thing, even if seven years have passed.
"In MA will a speeding ticket received in a commercial vehicle affect your personal auto insurance premiums?" Truck drivers with a CDL license are held to a higher standard than other drivers. New laws prevent a CDL driver from keeping a speeding ticket off his record by taking traffic school or a deferment. The only thing you can do is to contest the ticket and get it reduced or dismissed. Many violations are classified as serious for a CDL driver and two serious tickets in three years means a license suspension regardless of the number of points he still has on his license. This applies even if the tickets are received while driving his personal vehicle. Any ticket on your MVR will increase your personal insurance premiums. As a CDL driver you now have less options to keep your record clean and some companies will terminate a driver with three citations on his record. If you are a CDL driver you always need to know your options and the consequences before you plead guilty by just paying your speeding ticket. lwpat http://www.speedingticketcentral.com
First off, you can only hold one licence. And you're going to have to wait the two year period.
No it does not. It is a NON-MOVING violation and carries zero (0) DMV and zero (0) insurance points. Look at North Carolina General Statute Chapter 20 there are two primary types of traffic offenses in North Carolina, moving violation and non-moving violations. Improper Equipment falls under NON-MOVING violations.
I am from Philadelphia and was a commercial truck driver for over 18 years. If you have 2 DUI's you CAN'T ever get a CDL! It is very hard to get a CDL if you have one DUI. With the economy still in a recession with high unemployment, it is not easy to get a job in trucking. There are more drivers than freight nationwide. If your MVR is not clean, you will be at a strong disadvantage. The trucking companies are cherry picking anybody they want now-they are in the driver's seat!
