How We Defended a Commercial Driver Against a Weight Limit Violation


At SpeedTicketDefense.com, we specialize in defending commercial drivers against various traffic violations. One recent case that highlights our expertise involved a commercial driver charged with a weight limit violation. This charge could have led to substantial fines and the suspension of the driver’s commercial driving privileges. However, through meticulous legal work, we managed to have the charges dropped, safeguarding our client’s record and livelihood.

Understanding Weight Limit Violations

Commercial drivers must adhere to strict weight limits to ensure safety and minimize road damage. Exceeding these limits can result in hefty fines, legal penalties, and even the suspension of commercial driving licenses (CDL). For a commercial driver, such a violation not only threatens immediate financial stability but also jeopardizes long-term career prospects.

The Case: Weight Limit Violation

Our client, a seasoned commercial driver, was cited for allegedly exceeding the legal weight limit. The consequences of this charge were severe: significant fines and the potential suspension of their CDL. This case required immediate and thorough legal intervention.

Our Defense Strategy: Challenging the Scales

Upon reviewing the details of the case, our legal team identified a critical point of contention: the accuracy of the scales used to measure the truck’s weight. Proper calibration of these scales is essential to ensure accurate readings. Any discrepancies can lead to false charges.

We argued that the scales in question were improperly calibrated. Our team gathered evidence, including maintenance records and expert testimonies, to support this claim. By demonstrating that the scales could not be trusted to provide accurate measurements, we challenged the validity of the weight limit violation charge.

The Outcome: Charges Dropped

Our persistent efforts paid off. The court acknowledged the potential inaccuracies of the scales and, consequently, the charges against our client were dropped. This decision not only eliminated the immediate threat of fines and license suspension but also protected our client’s driving record and future employment opportunities.
