600hp car with a CDL...

natedog7700 · 01-31-2018, 09:47 PM

I recently switched jobs and every moving violation i get with my car, affects my career. Anyone else on here have a cdl? How do you cope?

Buy a pickup truck turn that car into a track only car. Or buy a 330 knowing your going to drive it differently. It really comes down to maturity. Should you be driving reckless on the road anyway?

The same way I, a married man, cope at the beach with the body of a male model.

No CDL but I am in Pharma and we have to keep our driving records clean. They match the point system that states typically use and keep things on a rolling 2 year basis.

I've only had one direct report run afoul of the system and she was sent to a 3 day driving school (not the fun kind) then put on probation.

You need a track car to get it out of your system. A 600 HP car causes too much commotion on the road and is just plain unsafe no matter how well you drive because you pop up on people WAY too quickly.

That's my best advice.
Good luck!

I've had my CDL for 20+ years. I never give it a second thought but that's because I don't rely on it for work. Will traffic violations in your car cause you to lose your Class A certification?

I'd start by removing the 200mph highway pull video you put on YouTube
