California Vehicle Code 22406 VC imposes a maximum speed limit of 55 miles per hour for truck drivers traveling on the freeway. The fine for a violation of Vehicle Code 22406 VC can range from $285.00 to more than $500.00 and commercial drivers are not eligible for traffic school.
A truck driver caught speeding over 55 miles per hour will receive either 1 or 1.5 points on his DMV record. You risk getting a negligent operator license suspension if you get 4 points in 12 months, 6 points in 24 months or 8 points in 36 months. With increased points at stake, as a commercial driver, you are at greater risk of rising insurance rates. If your employer’s insurance decides they cannot cover you as a driver, then you may lose your job.
Other traffic violations that can add points on your driving record include:
- Following too Closely – Vehicle Code 21703
- Improper lane change – Vehicle Code 22107
- Driving in the wrong lane – Vehicle Code 22348
- Bypassing the scales – Vehicle Code 2813
- Texting or using a handheld cell phone while driving a commercial vehicle – Vehicle Code 23123
