Well....it would all depend on what the ticket(s) are for. If for simple speeding....as in 5 or 10 mph over....probably nothing to really panic over.
As for how man tickets...actually its a "points" on the license issue, and that can be up to a judge's discretion....an egregious offense can get you "license-less" for a couple of years.... But as far as "banning" you as a driver? Good question....probably best answered by INS (Immigration) at the border.
As far as employment history....US companies for the most part use DAC/USIS.....but if you are a Canadian, working for a Canadian company, there may be no actual history (work) about you other than what your own employer has on you. INS can tell you how many times you have crossed the border, and when and where....probably to the minute though. |

Honestly.... I don't know who is right :? I have never seen a ticket with a half a point on it....but then again.... I've been very, very lucky in that aspect. I would have to say that only the court can tell you what the point/s will be.
When I go to CA.....I'm fanatical about staying under 57 out there. Just like in OH and IL. So far I've managed to not get any tickets in the past 24 years..... 8) But I give as much credit to "luck" as I do "watchfulness". |
