of course it always depends on the cop, but the rules are clear, no CDL in possession is a major violation. Equal to passing a stopped school bus, or speeding for more than 15 miles over the posted speed.
Stupid, but it is the rules. So, if the cop wants to be a real Richard, than you could wind up with a major violation on your record. |
Hurray! Got my license in the mail today. They mailed it from Lapeer County Court in Michigan on Dec-30th (after I paid the fine over the phone with my Visa). Got it today in Guelph, ON on Jan-06th. 2 stapler's holes on the right side ... but at least the magnetic stripe or the picture are not damaded. I think I'd spend a night in jail next time rather than leave my Ontario license in the hands of of a Michigan cop.

Forgive the ignorance, but isn't the issuing state the only one that can take your license? Technically, the license "belongs" to whatever state issued it. Or does the fact that it is a CDL make it open season? Just curious.

Seizure of your license in lieu of a bond? Never heard of that one, and I AM a cop. Holy crap. If I got jacked up in another state and they tried to "take" my Oregon license we'd have us a serious issue. The licenses here in my state belong to the DMV, and we simiply 'rent' them. Also, if I stop a driver and they don't produce an actual driver's license, they go to jail, period. It's called Failure to Carry and Present License, and it's a crime. So if they take your license you're pretty screwed. Seizure of license for bond, blows my mind. I think I'll avoid Michigan.
