Wichita CDL Ticket Lawyer – S.A. Tim Scimeca Law Office

Protecting Your CDL, Your Career & Your Future in Kansas

As a commercial driver, your CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) is not just your license — it’s your livelihood. Traffic violations that might be minor for other drivers can carry serious consequences for CDL holders, including loss of employment, CDL disqualification, skyrocketing insurance premiums, and long-term career damage.


At S.A. Tim Scimeca Law Office, we understand what’s at stake for commercial drivers facing traffic tickets or license violations. Our office aggressively defends Kansas CDL holders against all types of traffic violations in Wichita, Sedgwick County, and throughout South Central Kansas to protect your driving record, your job, and your financial future.

Kansas CDL Violations Can Threaten Your Livelihood

Under Kansas law, commercial drivers are held to higher safety and legal standards than non-commercial drivers. Even minor violations can result in points, CDL disqualification, or suspension. Many employers have zero-tolerance policies for certain violations, meaning even a single citation could cost you your job.



We provide experienced legal defense for a full range of CDL-related violations, including:

Speeding Tickets

  • Driving 15+ mph over the limit
  • Speeding in construction zones
  • Speeding in school zones
  • Excessive speeding violations (serious offenses under federal regulations)

Logbook & Hours of Service Violations

  • Falsifying logs
  • Driving beyond legal limits
  • Failure to maintain required records

Overweight & Load Violations

  • Overweight truck citations
  • Axle weight violations
  • Improperly secured loads
  • Load balancing violations

Reckless & Careless Driving

  • Lane violations
  • Unsafe lane changes
  • Following too closely (tailgating)
  • Aggressive or negligent driving
  • Road rage incidents

DUI & Drug-Related CDL Offenses

  • DUI while operating a commercial vehicle
  • DUI in a personal vehicle (still impacts your CDL)
  • Refusal to submit to chemical testing

CDL Disqualification & License Suspension Defense

  • Major violations leading to CDL disqualification
  • Accumulation of serious traffic violations
  • Violations committed in personal vehicles that affect your CDL status

Failure to Appear & Unpaid CDL Tickets

  • We assist CDL holders in resolving outstanding traffic tickets and warrants before they escalate into suspensions or disqualifications.

The Stakes Are Higher for Kansas CDL Holders

Commercial drivers face much stricter penalties than non-commercial drivers under Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and Kansas CDL laws:

  • CDL disqualification after two serious offenses within 3 years
  • Lifetime disqualification for certain felony offenses
  • Mandatory reporting of violations to employers and licensing agencies
  • Immediate employment consequences from employers and insurers
  • Permanent marks on your driving record impacting future job prospects
