Well, you can get a master's degree in traffic school and it ain't coming off the record in California anymore. This rule applies to CDL holders only. (That's profilin', isn't it, and profilin' is wrong)...they changed that 3 years ago, which really sucks for a guy in your situation. Once the conviction stands, you have to report it to your SCM, don't hesitate. Company policy...And of course, notate it on your annual driving record review. About the best you can hope for in court is a reduction in the fine, unless you hope the officer doesn't show up. If he does, nothin' is gonna go your way. But, he might be telling you to go because he doesn't...(?) very possible..

i've already reported it to my personell the same day when i got back from my linehaul.
the officer was actually telling me to go to court and his words exactly were that it's like throwing dice, i have a 50/50 chance....

so basically all i can count on is that he doesnt show up to court?

i take blame for my fault and not trying to ***** or anything....

but yea....that profiling....or reverse profiling...they give us AMERICAN drivers a hard time with all that, even the hazmat fingerprinting and fines....

....and then they turn around and let that mexican truck driver program in so easily....

sometimes the good guys do end up getting screwed

anyway, im off to work now, i just had to kill some time because of that 2 hour push back, thanks for all the help guys

If he doesn't show up you can plead not guilty. It's kind of morally wrong because you were caught by radar.
It's one of those last minute judgement calls and hopefully you remember what officer friendly looks like.

Had a guy get challenged by a judge. He plead not guilty to a speeding ticket that was issued because of radar.
Officer was not there and judge said, "You are pleading guilty but you were caught on radar?"
Needless to say he freaked out and the judge twisted it to a traffic school ticket.
Had he held his bearings he would have gotten away with it.


It's a gutsy call to put yourself in that situation. Do the honest thing, it's your first offense.
