No PJCs for CDLs
How’s that for too many acronyms?
People LOVE them some PJCs. I can’t tell you how many times people have called me to get my help with a speeding ticket and they say, “Yeah, but can’t you just get one of them PJCs?” Le sigh.
“What is a PJC,” you might ask. This is not the post for telling you exactly what it is (if you want to know, go here: https://www.jeffreyhowardlaw.com/should-i-use-pjc-durham-nc/). In short, it’s a legal mulligan. BUT it is NOT a panacea for all traffic tickets and should only be used with education, information, and caution. There are many times (more often than not, in fact) that it isn’t the best option for your ticket.
One of those times is when you have a CDL, or commercial driver license. The benefits of a PJC (generally not counting as a conviction so no DMV or insurance points) DO NOT apply to people with a CDL. So this is a complete dead end for those folks.
Of course, if you’re in doubt about how to handle your ticket – and you should be – make sure you call a lawyer who handles traffic tickets regularly.
Like this guy.
