In Massachusetts, several motor vehicle offenses are criminal violations. A failure to respond properly to the ticket or summons may result in the issuance of a warrant.

On the Massachusetts Turnpike (Route 90), and other roads deemed “Metropolitan Roadways” by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a special set of regulations exist governing travel on the highways.

In my practice, I run into a lot of tickets written for red light violation. When I speak with the operator, most are adamant that the light was not red when they passed through the intersection.

Everyone has been on the highway behind slower traffic, anxious to pass. And it seems that there is that person just lingering in the left lane, maybe going 1 or 2 miles faster than the right or middle lanes, but clearly not passing.

While a speeding ticket is an expensive nuisance for most drivers, a driver with a CDL license has added consequences when dealing with a moving violation.
