Mr. O was driving a commercial truck which had a heavy loader improperly secured on the flatbed. He was then pulled over and written numerous tickets under Arizona Revised Statute ARS 13-5204. The code violations included No Log Book under 395.(8)(A); a Fuel Line Violation under 393.65(F); Improper Chains on Load under 393.130(C); Defective Brake Warning Device under 393.51; Brakes Out of Adjustment under 396.3(A)(1); and Unsafe Operation of a Vehicle under 396.7. If Mr. O had been held responsible for all of these violations, it would have caused him thousands of dollars and the loss of his Commercial Driver’s License. By reducing all charges to 1 Count of Unsafe Operation, he paid a small fine and kept his driving privileges.
