| Hold a CDL and got a ticket What is the name of your state? Texas
I'm required to hold a Class B CDL for my job at school, and I got a ticket today on my motorcycle. Texas passed a law in September 2003, that anybody that holds a CDL can not take defensive driving or deferred. Is this something that a judge can reverse and allow me to take DD or deferred? I explained to the officer that I need my job to pay my rent/bills/etc for my last semester of school, but he told me he couldn't give me a warning for the speed I was doing (90 in a 70). The officer seemed as if he didn't want to give me the ticket, but he had to. In the box next to my drivers license number, it has a spot titled "C.D.L." and he left that blank. He also put tomorrows date on the ticket. I know there is a slim chance to get out of the ticket on an error, but my main concern is keeping the ticket off my record so I can keep my job until I graduate. Can a judge allow me to take deferred? I know being a young college kid doing 20 over on a sportbike will not help my case. |
