The current laws regarding CDL’s (Commercial Driver’s
Licenses) and Intermediate Driver's Licenses border on the absurd.
The simple truth is that even a single guilty conviction for any moving violation can have
extremely serious consequences on not only your insurance premiums and employability but the very validity of your license
as well.
For example, if you have a CDL (Commercial
Driver’s License) or are a union driver, then you probably already know about the devastating impact of even one speeding
or traffic ticket conviction. This is especially true if the alleged ticket involved an accident.
If you are under 18 and are dependent on a Intermediate License, then EVERY
TICKET MUST BE FOUGHT AS IF WORLD PEACE HUNG IN THE BALANCE.
Intermediate Licensees often make the tragic mistake of not hiring a lawyer for their first speeding
or traffic ticket. They naively believe that they will never receive another ticket while they have an intermediate driver's
license.
Hiring an experienced speeding and traffic
ticket attorney is all the more important if you have an intermediate license and have had a prior traffic ticket
conviction. If you do have a prior conviction, you are very likely at risk for a mandatory suspension.
And, if you are in danger of being classified as a habitual offender, you
are especially at risk. Often, people are not even aware of their status until it is too late.
Do not let yourself be one of those unfortunate people who only find out
when they receive a letter of suspension from the Department of Licensing.
Once a speeding
or traffic ticket conviction is entered on your record, it is very, very difficult to have it vacated or removed.
