CDL Drivers- Federal law prohibits the Town of Kersey from “masking” traffic violations committed by persons holding a Commercial Driver’s License (“CDL”). As such, when a conviction enters on a traffic violation for a CDL driver, the original charge will be reported to the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles (“DMV”). For example, if a CDL driver receives a speeding ticket traveling 10-19 miles over the speed limit and a conviction enters, while the points may be amended, the same speeding charge will be reported to the DMV.
If you have a ticket in Kersey Municipal Court and would like to discuss a possible plea bargain or your available options prior to coming to court, please contact the Town Prosecutor Avi Rocklin (970-419-8226 or avi@rocklinlaw.com).
The Honorable Kimberly Emil serves as the Town's Municipal Court Judge.
