I am looking to hear any experiences you guys have had with DMV Hearing officers for negligent operator license suspension due to points. According to one attorney, some are super dicks, and others are cool.
Got my Order of Probation and Suspension today from the DMV. I have 5 points from 05/2008 until 12/2008 all on my motorcycle which I ride about 3,000 miles a month.
1 point for speeding ( > 65mph ) - paid fine
1 point for speeding ( > 65mph ) - contested and lost
1 point for at fault accident - stupid driver merged in front of me slowly.
1 point for at fault accident - stupid soccer mom nailed brakes cuz she missed turn - me rear ended the car that rear ended her.
1 point for following to closely on above accident - contested and lost
Nothing in the past 6 months. Still ride about the same amount.
They want to suspend for 6 months with probation for 12 months. Prior to May 2008, I had a relatively clean record (about 1 ticket every 24-30 months). No prior suspensions, no DUIs, no 2 point offenses.
Spoke with a couple attorneys, and they want about $2,000 to conference in on the call with the DMV Hearing dude. For that I'll take my chances and ride metro for the 6 months if I lose.
Any assistance welcome..
