Can a non-moving violation affect a current pending moving violation that s in deferral?
So back in November last year I got a speeding ticket. Shame on me I know, but I qualified for the city deferral program and all I had to do was pay an administrative fee and basically chill out for 6 months and not get anymore violations.
I work as a commercial driver and the trucks I drive are subject to motor carrier inspections. Well my lucky day came and I got inspected. I m used to them and I know the drill for the most part, but this time I had a bomb drop on me. The company I work for apparently didn t pay the UCR fees and the inspector picked up on it, but wrote the ticket out to ME because "I represent the company by driving their trucks." What a crock!
So now I m worried that if this ticket gets paid, will it go on my record and will it also negate the deferral of my speeding ticket? I mean it s not a traffic or moving violation, more like an administrative violation that s not really my fault.

If you were driving that truck on a public way, you are responsible for its condition. There might be an argument that it's not a 'moving violation' because it doesn't involve the rules of the road, but rather an administrative fee of some kind, assuming anyone cares. You might be worried about nothing.

NO, they wrote the ticket to you because YOU were driving the truck. The driver is ALWAYS responsible for KNOWING the vehicle is legal to drive on public roads. If that is news to you, you have NO business HAVING a CDL. In fact, you shouldn't have a regular driver's license.
Buy the way DRIVING a vehicle that is not properly licensed IS a moving violation.
