How can I fight a speeding ticket with a CDL Endorsement?

Those who have a CDL (commercial driver’s license) and gain a speeding ticket will often have a harder time contesting the ticket.  The standard of drivers with CDLs are higher than those drivers with a standard driver’s license because the requirements for a CDL are more rigid and strict.

Many people think that having a CDL endorsement will enable them to fight a speeding ticket.  A CDL endorsement is where a driver with a CDL receives additional training after receiving the CDL in order to drive more specialized trucks, including those that haul hazardous materials.

The truth is that a CDL endorsement will not contest a speeding ticket, as the additional tests and requirements for that CDL endorsements enables the driver to handle additional situations and challenges, not be better equipped to contest speeding tickets.

The best way to contest a speeding ticket if you have a CDL endorsement is to attend driving school, as this will reduce the amount of penalty points against your license.  This will prove helpful for you, as most states charge more points per violation against a driver with a CDL than with a regular license.  Attending driving school could help save your license from being suspended and your livelihood from being threatened. 

A qualified lawyer can likely have your fine reduced if you have a CDL endorsement, and especially if the ticket was given unjustly to you.
