    Had a suspended license with three points...

    Speeding laws and red light cameras are a joke, and are mainly just take $ off the average joe. Ill never be the cause of an accident and I drive like an angel but if school doesn't take care of this point and the point from 5 years ago doesn't clear up I'm stuck with two black eyes over the...

    Had a suspended license with three points...

    Shouldn't the point from 8 years ago be off your record by now? Also since I didn't get an answer in the other thread, does traffic school take the point off your H6 driving record?

    Driving Record's Effect on Employment

    what about a red light ticket from 6 years ago and a speeding ticket from 4-5 months ago? other than that im squeaky clean, including criminal record.

    Familiar with Gold Coast, Oxnard, CA?

    What about like Lifeline or something? I can wait months -- I have a job now, so it's not a problem waiting for an opening. PS. If you got any idea of a company anywhere from Central CA to Socal that usually has openings for B's, it'd be cool if you could let me know.

    Medical Examiners Card

    Alright I was eventually cleared by a doctor. Far as the ambulance driver's license goes, the issue is more or less the DL51 (obviously), which is a major hassle. Since the DL51 is a blanket form it applies to the lowest and highest levels of commercial driver's license and non-CDL. From what I...

    Familiar with Gold Coast, Oxnard, CA?

    I was thinking of moving to the county and possibly applying to GC or another provider as an EMT-B... I've got some family there and my current job's (non-ems) HQ is in Hueneme anyways. They are probably closing shop within the next year and I figure that's a good time to switch to EMS. Any...

    NREMT Recert CE/Refresh (Los Angeles Area)

    This is just for EMT-B, not P And I heard the NREMT recert by test is a one-time shot. I'm pretty confident I'd pass, but that's cutting it too close. Anyways, I found this for anyone that is looking for offline CE: http://www.ciemt.com/recert.asp I've still yet to call them, but the...

    NREMT Recert CE/Refresh (Los Angeles Area)

    Long story short, I was certified nationally and state in late 09. I've worked another job since then, but not as an EMT, mostly because I wasn't able to get an ADL until just the other day and my job paid well. I have a bit over a year to recert NREMT and don't want to end up on panic-mode. I...

    Medical Examiners Card

    True... but you're not in California. Our :censored::censored::censored::censored: is really, really messed up. There's no way to just have an ophthalmologist give you an O.K., you've got to go through this ridiculous process, and whether it works for me remains to be seen.

    Medical Examiners Card

    20/15 (corrected) in my good eye, 20/40 (or better I forget) in my "bad eye" (uncorrectable), however I have monocular vision. It's odd that with over a decade of driving experience, zero driving violations, and one of the best optometrists in all of California telling me I've basically adapted...

    Diabetic EMT

    Who'd you get picked up with, and what ever happened with the DMV? Did they review anything? I've been reading some of the AMB certification stuff and I've found this: "Medical Disability The certificate may be refused, suspended or revoked if the driver does not meet the minimum medical...

    Diabetic EMT

    Maybe, but I've known a number of people who've gotten in over the years with no experience, volunteer or otherwise. I meet all those things minus the AD cert, and the only thing holding me back is a nonsense requirement for a driver. I could fly a plane, and I drive a 5 ton truck, but not an...
