Home and Auto Driver record/point system - Page 2

JOhn · 05-01-2012, 09:01 AM

Someone explain this to me: The state of Wyoming DMV, DOES NOT use a point system. Yet our work is looking at new insurance and they told my boss I have 3 points on my lic. My lic is a Class A.

The only violations I have had since 2007 are the following:

Aug 2007, ticket for Expired/non valid Ins & following to close
( was in minor accident, the only one ever, from rear ending another car.)
Jan 2008, driving under suspension... (was in Montana)
ended up with fine, but no additional suspension. (was suspended for 3 months from 2007 ticket)

My License was re-instated in Feb of 2008 after the 3 month suspension

Nov 2011 ticket for no seat belt

All citations/suspension where in WY, other than the one in Montana

These are the only tickets ect I have had going back to 1999...

So how is it I have 3 points on my lic?
And no I have not got a copy of my record yet as I have to wait to get it from DMV, and local offices are closed this week for some BS.

i thought i got a speeding in a state park...32 in a 20. middle of ****ing winter, and not another soul in the park. county deputy wrote me up. i mailed in the check...whatever.

6 months later my insurance premium gets jacked up major. i made some calls(too late) and found out since it was in the park, c&i. bastards.

So I look around for a better price and can't find one.

What the **** did I do? The cost of doing business with ME is all profit for them. I'm pissed needless to say.

You pay a little over $80 a month for car insurance? And used to pay a little over $40!?! Wtf. I pay $200..... a month.

Convictions older than 3 years are not supposed to affect your insurance rates.

That is Montana state law...

(see section 9a)

I am guessing it is no more than 3 or 5 years in Wyoming as well. Worst case, you should be clear by Jan 2013

That is indeed the norm in Montana, but JOhn is an outlaw!

Not to hijack the thread, but I had some extremely annoying shit happen to me recently...

I got into a minor fender-bender the day after Thanksgiving last year. I rear ended someone so it was my fault. Got a $164 careless driving ticket that I had a month to pay. In Florida that comes with 4 points added to your license so when I went to pay the ticket on December 26th (exactly one month later), I opted to take a 4 hour online traffic course to keep the points off. Once I completed payment for the ticket, it said I'd have 4 months to take the class. This was right around Christmas, New Years, and the start of a new semester so I just put it off since I had so much time to take it.

So fast forward a few months and I get a letter in the mail saying I had failed to comply with paying a ticket and my license would be suspended by May 1st if I didn't do so. So I went online and took the traffic course (two weeks later than the deadline of March 26th). Took my certificate to the DMV and the lady says: "By the way, that'll be $41 since you took it late". Trying to get up out of there without committing murder I just paid it, but here's the kicker- THE 4 POINTS WERE STILL PUT ON MY LICENSE.

How in balls name does that make sense?? Mind you, this test I opted to take was optional. I could have just paid the $164 ticket on day one, opted not to take the test, and took the 4 points on my license. But since I opted to take the test and didn't do it within their time frame, they charged me another fine, on top of threatening to suspend my license, AND STILL PUTTING THE ****ING POINTS ON MY LICENSE!

Can someone explain that!?

I in fact have a class A with all my endorsements except tankers, I drive for a living.

jfc, always leave it to LVNHACK to bust my balls

So you have a CDL and you didn't have insurance on your big truck or your vehicle?

You do know that having a CDL comes with harder punishments and limits that are more severe.
DWI instead of a .08 it is a .04 for a CDL holder.

Did you pay for the accident that was your fault and you didn't have insurance?
