Speeding Tickets affect CHL?
This may be, and most likely is, a stupid question. However, I haven't been able to find a direct answer and I'm just trying to make sure all bases are covered in getting my CHL.
Can speeding tickets, 1 a year ago (defensive driving) and 1 three years ago (deferred adjudication), affect my CHL app?
Thanks

No, Class C's like that will not affect it.Chuck_wall wrote:This may be, and most likely is, a stupid question. However, I haven't been able to find a direct answer and I'm just trying to make sure all bases are covered in getting my CHL.

Of course you have to provide DPS with complete explanation and "disposition" of the offense but it doesn't disqualify you from getting a CHL.

It's not a stupid question at all. I never can keep up with "Class C" this and "misdemeanor" that. If speeding tickets had been an issue, my son would have been out of luck. We're scheduling surgery to have the lead removed from his accelerator foot.

Don't worry TLynn, it's something he naturally grows out of when he reaches age 50.

That is true for most 'indiscretions' in my case. All my wife does if I start to suffer any 'road rage' is simply say "CHL, CHL, CHL" and all that rage just goes away.marksiwel wrote:I was told when I get my CHL I wont get Speeding tickets anymore
It took too long and cost too much to get to lose it that easily!

I've observed this effect and I'm still waiting on my CHL. I didn't anticipate this welcome side-effect.joe817 wrote:The new stress relieving mantra.

It's also a nifty speed reduction regulator.
