When you FTA, the judge could convict you in absentia, levy a fine, and then add an administrative fee of up to $300.

Many of the California traffic codes for commercial vehicle drivers hold CDL holders to a higher standard.

When you consider it could cost as much as $1.00 for each pound over, you need the legal services of a knowledgeable and experienced traffic attorney.

A little known fact about a 100+ mph conviction is that the traffic court judge has the discretion to suspend your driver’s license for 30 days on the spot.

Although paying the fine is the easiest and quickest way to resolve a speeding ticket, it is far from the cheapest, as most believe.

You can dispute your ticket with a traffic attorney and come out on top.

A large majority of these tickets go against the trucker only because they are the biggest vehicle involved, which often makes them an easy target.

Do not pay the fine without consulting a traffic ticket attorney. In many cases, a traffic attorney can dispute the red light ticket and get it dismissed or reduced.

You could very easily spend $10,000 you had not planned to pay if you get convicted of speeding 100+ mph.

Very few states have a speed limit differential like the one in CA. Therefore, many CMV drivers with a CDL are shocked by the law when they receive a speeding ticket.
