If this has been answered in the past I apologize. I couldn't find anything easily in the search function.
Got a letter from Florida DOT (SunPass) that I had nine toll booth violations from the last four months that need to be paid. I tracked it down to my wife driving my vehicle those days and have proof. The picture shows the car going through the human-manned cash lane, so I believe her when she says that she paid each time (maybe she went through too quickly after paying?). We don't drive on toll roads often, so these are likely 100% of the time she drove those routes. I don’t believe for a second that she would’ve smiled at the person and dashed through without paying, but whether she did or didn't doesn't really matter now that I got the violation.
These are considered non-moving violations, but I’ve just learned that since it was my car there is no way to challenge the tickets in an effort to get the violations to be attributed to her. So it’ll stick against my name whether I fight it or not. I’m still building my 1,500 hours with hopes of getting to a Major/Legacy one day and am trying to maintain as clean of a record as possible. I feel comfortable to reasonably explain this once in front of a person in an interview, but my larger concern is on applications am I going to have to list a number of “violations” opposed to “moving violations?” How are the application questions worded? I would imagine if I input 11-12 for driving violations (9 toll booth + a couple prior speeding) it’ll be hard to get an interview at a Major. I'm in my 30's and haven't had a violation (even non-moving) for at least 7-8 years.
How will I have to present this information before getting in front of a hiring official to explain this? How will this affect me?
I’ll be signing up for Sunpass now to cover myself in the future. Thanks for any feedback.
