Look any monkey can be a truck driver....it doesnt take brains to do the job.

So thats why so many REDNECKS and poor people do it. So natuarally he has no money to pay his fines and get his license back.

He will have to pay for HIGH risk insurance which is very expensive, and some states require you to pay 6 months in advance before you can even apply to get your license back.

Your friend needs to quit smoking, drinking, doing drugs and to save all that money for his fines and insurance, then maybe he will earn enough money, so when he gets a ticket, he can pay it before the court date, and keep his license.

rebuttal

please forgive my error. i thought i was in a section on legal advise but it seems i have run into a sociologist who has had a bad hair day. talk about a total lack of tact. i guess that is how you justly earned the first part of your name. yes, dave is a redneck but on his worse days he would never be as rude as you are. how dare you be so presumptive as to accuse, not just imply, that he smokes, drinks and does drugs. does that give me the right to accuse you of stealing from your place of employment, that is if you have a job. i hope the rest of your day is a little better for you. and, oh yes, do something about your hair.

I see we have a forum troll.

First you should never post personal information on a public forum. Just not a good practice.

We cannot tell you how much the fines are and what it will take for him to get his CDL license back. You need to call the clerk of court and get that information. Once you have settled with the court the DMV can advise about the license. He can also request a hardship license to drive in order to drive to and from work.

The violations are for failure to register and no insurance if I read your post correctly. He also now has a failure to appear charge.
You should never miss a court date, it just makes things worse. Usually the judge will work out a payment plan if you show up. I doubt there is any possibility of that now.

The suspension on his record will make it difficult for him to obtain
another driving job. It will depend on the company and their policies.

4000(a) is "no proof of registration"
16020(a) is "no proof of financial responsibility"

He needs to get down to Long Beach or which ever court hears that case and ask them to "add on" to the calendar. Make sure to call the court to ask them when add on day is though (don't want to make that trip just for the hell of it and not be heard)

His DL is prob suspended because he failed to appear on the charges (look on the bottom of the ticket...most likely, he signed the promise to appear date so he will not be able to get of that charge scott free)

The FTA (failure to appear) is prob is 40508(a) which can be deemed an infraction if he has no priors.

Make sure when he goes there, he brings proof of registration and insurance for the date he was cited + current proof. (call the ins co and a copy of the policy which was in place at the time of the citation)

If no reg, the fine should be about $146
If no ins, the fine should be about $551 (if after the fact, then the fine should be about $281)
The FTA should be about $250

He can make payment to DRR (department of revenue and recovery)

Once payments are initiated, then he can get a judgment in the abstract to show the DMV to get his suspension lifted.

All this advice is only applicable if his license is suspended due this one citation.

P.S. That will be $250..j/k...please keep us updated and good luck

16020(a) is "no proof of financial responsibility"

YOU forgot the MOST important part, he needs to get SR 22 or HIGH risk insurance BEFORE he goes to court and tries to get his license back.

Also some states and companies REQUIRE you to pay 6 months or more before they will issue you a policy usually at double or triple the rates of a safe driver like me!

So you friend will be able to get his license back if he follows this saying:


MONEY TALKS.......BULL**** WALKS

Actually, it may not be as bad as you are thinking... or it may be worse. lwpat is partly correct. Rather ;that call the clerk, your friend needs to appear before the court. Registration violations are commonly dismissed upon proof of correction and payment of a $10.00 court cost. Likewise, the insurance charge is often dismissed upon proof that valid insurance coverage was in place at the time of the citation (e.g. his own policy of insurance, or a policy held by the owner of the vehicle).

The bad news. If he cannot find a copy of any policy, he may be subjected to a fairly substantial fine (plus penalty assessment). In addition, he may be subjected to a civil assessment if the matter has been referred to a collection agency (usually $250.00).

It isn't clear whether he has been charged with a failure to appear, but assuming he has, the courts are sometimes accepting a guilty/no contest to that charge and dismissing one or more other charges (or suspending the fine as to the other charges).

One thing is almost certain, the court is more likely to be sympathetic if he voluntarily attempts to clear the matter rather than waits to be picked up on a bench warrant.
