OK I'm freakining out. About a month ago, I let my sister use my car and she got a parking ticket with it and didn't tell me. I got a notice in the mail saying its late but it can still be taken care of. I'm worried this will affect getting my CDL if it goes on my record. It was a parking without consent moving violation in Buffalo NY. Its minor but I don't want to take any chances...what can I do? I'll pay it if I have to but can I get a judge to not put it on my record? I'm so paranoid...maybe I'm overreacting but this is scaring the crap out of me.

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

It's a parking ticket. You only have to worry if it's a moving violation. Just pay it and it will be fine. And tell your sister if she can't stop parking in places where she knows is wrong then take your car back.

This is exactly why I don't let any of my sisters use my car. Far too immature. shocked.png

Oh man. Illegal parking in New York? I thought they hanged you by your thumbs, with your thumbs behind your back for that. Seriously, you probably don't have too much to worry about. BUT PAY THE FINE, or they'll issue a warrant for your arrest.

Ou get arrested for parking tickets?

Here if they aren't paid and it goes to court collections, if you don't pay them they just send a bailiff to clamp your car so you can't use it, then if you still don't pay, they send the bailiff to carry off our TV or playstation to sell to cover the fine.

No arrests... No warrants....

The closest you get to being locked up is having your passport frozen so you can't skip out on your debts!
