A: The so-called "Dimler speed law" only applies to drivers accused of going 65 or less in a 55 or 60 mph zone. Those won't go on a non-CDL, Minnesota drivers license record by statute. But that law does not apply in 30 mph zone, unfortunately. You may be able to keep it off your drivers license (DL) record though, if you appear in court and talk to the prosecutor. The prosecutor might offer a disposition that would prevent it going on your DL record. If important, you'll do better with a lawyer representing you. But with or without a lawyer, go to court and try to keep it off your DL record!
