I wouldn't of been able to attain my CDL or finish school, but i have just done that.

It wasn't doubled. It was classified as a regular speeding ticket and like it said in the post it was reduced to 20. Ibe paid the full amount of $350. Vs $800 or whatever it would've been if it was doubled and i kept my license and this was my personal behicle with regular license. I would've of been able to get my CDL then and i have it now. After the ticket I took a class pn safe drovong and got 2 points extra taken off my license

Good luck to both of you. When I read this I thought it was a joke. 90 in a construction zone???? Really? And you read the signs cause you knew fines are supposed to be doubled.

Please slow it down and drive safely when you get in a truck. You need to have respect for these huge heavy machines, and respect for those around you that you could kill, including construction workers.

Did you learn anything from the tickets? Cause it doesn't sound like you have. It sounds like you are shrugging them off and THAT can get u killed.

You totally missed my point. My point was that you were irresponsible with your PERSONAL vehicle to the point of being a reckless driver. Just because you got off easy does not excuse the fact that you had a reckless and criminal disregard for your own safety and that of those around you.

Did you know if you hit a construction worker you could go to jail for 10 years???

Big deal you got a CDL... most of us do. What you do with it from this point out is what matters.

Again your attitude is dismissive and I hope you learn from this. Trucking is about owning us and being responsible and being accountable for your actions. The lives of others are in your hands and I don't think you have considered that.... at least not from your posts.
