The DMV has established Point Limits, Time Periods and Procedures to determine if a Driver is a “Negligent Operator.” We have conducted 100s of DMV Negligent Operator Hearings. We will protect your rights.

If you receive too many Traffic Citation Convictions, the DMV can suspend and/or revoke your Commercial License. Even if a Judge permits you to attend Traffic School, if you had a Commercial License at the time of the Traffic Violation, the Citation will still appear on your Driving Record notwithstanding the type of vehicle you were operating when cited.

The DMV, DOT (Department of Transportation) and the General Public has a vested interest in maintaining safety along and upon the Highways within the United States. This concern and interest is not without foundation.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) conducted a study of Accidents involving Large Trucks (some States do not report all FMCSA eligible crashes). Large Trucks refer to a Vehicle designed, used or maintained primarily for carrying property, with a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of more than 10,000 lbs.

The following is a National Summary of Large Trucks involved in Fatal and Non-Fatal Accidents:

                                  2002                                                    116,651

                                  2003                                                    125,456

                                  2004                                                    139,302

                                  2005                                                    145,447

                                  2006                                                    140,473

California and other States have effected Point Systems to help maintain Highway Safety by suspending and/or revoking the Driving Privilege of Negligent Drivers.

Most moving Citation Convictions received in a Class “A” Commercial Vehicle are assigned 1.5 points on your Driving Record. Some are assigned 2 points. Other Convictions mandate an automatic Suspension and/or Revocation.

Most Log Book Violations are assigned 1.5 points. Other Convictions mandate more serious consequences. Many Drivers, erroneously, believe they can simultaneously maintain 2 Log Books and/or falsify their Log Book, both resulting in severe penalties.

The majority of Equipment Violations, commonly referred to as “Fix It Tickets,” are assigned 1.5 points. Numerous California Vehicle Codes apply directly to particular Equipment Violations. Many Law Enforcement Officers in California denote some Equipment Citations as Violations of California Vehicle Code § 34506.3 which are assigned 1.5 points on your Driving Record.

Give us a call and we will protect your Commercial Class “A” Drivers License.
