Yes... Contact Department of Safety and the Court where the violation was filed. Satisfy them for issuance of your TNDL.
Is that reckless driving?

It can be amended but probably won't. The citation is apparently for speeding only, so you need to read it. Go to Court and act respectful. Some type of diversion might be ordered.
My judgement says that can't drive even with a valid driver license...my license status online says that I'm eligible with interlock device. It doesn't say revoked

I am not sure what your problem is. If convicted of DUI, you should be eligible to get a blowmeter device and then your TNDL. Usually you do this yourself, but you may have to get the Judge to amend the disposition on the Warrant or Judgment. If you do not have an attorney, call me.
I got a speeding ticket in the state of TN for going supposedly 87 mph but when I pulled the bodycam and dashcam footage the radar showed 85 mph. I made a video on YT about it. I just cannot wrap my head around how this could be considered anything but extortion as I was found not guilty but still... View More

Apparently you were either found guilty or had it dismissed with costs. I doubt there was any other disposition.. Read the Judge's Order on the Citation. It appears that you did not know what was going on and the Judge gave you a break through a Diversion even though you tried it.
She was stopped for speeding in Jackson TN two days ago. The officer told her that she was driving with a suspended AL license of which she was unaware. Investigating, she found that AL had suspended her license because while getting a speeding ticket last year she showed the officer a picture on... View More

She will probably be booked, involving search, fingerprints, and mug shot. This is more convenient and cheaper than being arrested. The important thing is to take care of that DL. She needs to get all the information she can out of the issuing authority so that she has a DL and possibly get... View More

Do not plead straight up guilty! It will ruin your life. Hire an attorney to get it Diverted, Dismissed and Expunged.

Hire a competent attorney now. Judge may require incarceration for the remainder of Sentence. Those charges are expensive also, so the lawyer might lower the costs.

You should go to Court on your Citation. TN might get LA to determine the right DL and revoke it. It is not a chance that you will want to take as it may be impossible to reinstate the DL after such a suspension.
55-8-123 says first offense is suppose to be a warning and second is only suppose to be 20$ but the county clerk charged me 238.75
answered on Jun 26, 2024
Make sure that you understand exactly what the $238.75 was for (because courts often can collect court fees in addition to a fine). If you are being overcharged, pay it "under protest" and file a timely appeal.
What's better for me, going to court, paying the fine, or going to school؟
thanks

Always go to Court for Rule of The Road Citations. You might receive some type of Diversion or Dismissal. Bring cash to pay costs.

All of those requirements are statutory Rules of the Road in Tennessee. That is for the Driver not passenger.

When you paid it, you admitted guilt. You have to ask for diversion prior to pleading guilty. Should have gone to Court.
I do have a restricted license but it was outside of my approved times and not for work. Do I need to hire a lawyer or is it possible to get an okay outcome without one?

That will probably be a VOP, so hire an attorney to represent you. Get a lawyer now before you are arrested. Also do what you can to get your TNDL back.

Yes... Hire an attorney to represent you. DOS might suspend your TNDL. You are in a bad situation.

Current Registration of the vehicle is needed in Court. Also bring your TNDL and Insurance. If you were not currently registered, but are now, you might get it dismissed on costs.
Now and paid my fine. But 2 months later I get pulled over and they say my license are suspended. Why did they get suspended for?

You apparently were found guilty of lack of financial responsibility since you paid a fine. Why did you not hire an attorney? It might be possible to set aside the Sessions Judgment, but very doubtful. Contact DOS and see what it takes for reinstatement. Also hire a competent attorney.

He needs to contact the various Courts that have each Citation and pay them, getting receipts. Then contact DOS about how to reinstate CDL.
Do you think that the judge will drop the ticket

Hire an attorney to go to Court with you. The Financial Responsibility Statute may suspend your DL, and there may not be anything to do about it. Bring owner to Court with you, but it was your offense.

Consult with an attorney after you personally contact the DOS. You will probably need to do most of this yourself, but advice or representation to get paid in full receipts may be needed.
