Texas RV Drivers License

[Ryan Wright]

You might check to be sure there aren't ramifications... I always
wanted to get a CDL, just to have it. Unfortunately, in Washington
(and it may be this way everywhere, I don't know), any traffic
infractions by a CDL holder result in a doubling of the fine (because
you should have known better, apparently). This is true regardless of
the vehicle you are driving at the time you are ticketed.

As our government agents in blue just love to hand out extortion
notices, and as I've been the recipient of enough of them for
inadvertant mild speeding (and others for entirely BS, made up
reasons), I decided against holding a CDL unless I absolutely needed
one - and I don't.
