Any commercial truck driver in California is likely to spend at least some time on a well-known stretch of I-5 between Kern County and Los Angeles County — the Grapevine. More speeding tickets are probably handed out to commercial truckers on this major Los Angeles traffic outlet than on any other stretch of highway in our area. Speed limits on the long 6% grade up and over the Fort Tejon Pass set many drivers up for citations. Commercial trucks moving north out of Los Angeles County are limited to a speed of 35 mph while other drivers zip along at 65 mph. California’s tough lane restrictions for commercial trucks also make the Grapevine especially difficult to navigate. The Grapevine gained new notoriety as a speed trap after the California Highway Patrol issued 500 speeding and lane-violation tickets to commercial drivers during a single nine-day period in 2022. Some drivers may assume a commercial truck driver who is ticketed for speeding can simply pay the ticket, go to traffic violator’s school, and be done with it. This widespread misconception ignores the fact that commercial motor vehicle operators are not eligible for traffic school. Pleading guilty to a speeding ticket can cause them to lose their job. Employing drivers with speeding violations can send fleet managers’ already-high insurance premiums to untenable levels. If you have been ticketed for a speeding or lane violation on the Grapevine or any roadway in Kern, Tulare, Fresno, Inyo, or Mono counties, you can count on expert help from our firm. We have assisted many professional truck drivers with citations for these and other alleged traffic offenses. Don’t hesitate to call us for a no-obligation, free consultation. We will be happy to assist you. SPEED TRAP Truck Drivers Face Challenges on the Grapevine
