How We Helped a Commercial Truck Driver Overcome a Speeding Ticket in a Construction Zone

we pride ourselves on defending the rights of our clients, particularly those in the commercial driving industry who face strict regulations and severe penalties for traffic violations. One of our recent cases involved a commercial truck driver who was cited for speeding in a construction zone. This post details how our experienced attorneys successfully had the ticket dismissed, saving our client from hefty fines and potential job loss.

The Challenge

Our client, an experienced commercial truck driver, was issued a speeding ticket while driving through a construction zone. The consequences of this ticket were severe, including substantial fines, points on their driving record, and the possibility of losing their job. The stakes were high, and our client needed expert legal assistance to fight the citation and maintain their livelihood.

Our Approach

From the outset, we took a comprehensive approach to the case. Our legal team meticulously reviewed all aspects of the incident, including:

  1. Radar Gun Calibration: We requested and examined the calibration records of the radar gun used by the officer. It is crucial for radar guns to be regularly calibrated to ensure their accuracy. Any inconsistencies or lapses in calibration could render the speed reading unreliable.
  2. Officer’s Report: We scrutinized the officer’s report for any discrepancies or errors. This included checking the time of the ticket, the exact location, and the officer’s observations.
  3. Construction Zone Signage: We investigated the construction zone’s signage to determine if it was adequately placed and visible to drivers, ensuring that all speed limits and warnings were clearly communicated.

The Outcome

Our thorough investigation paid off. We identified several inconsistencies in the radar gun’s calibration records and pointed out errors in the officer’s report. Additionally, we argued that the construction zone signage was not adequately visible, which could have contributed to the alleged speeding.

Presented with this compelling evidence, the court agreed with our arguments, and the speeding ticket was dismissed. Our client’s driving record remained clean, and they were able to keep their job without facing any fines or penalties.
