So, how big of a deal is a non-moving violation cell phone ticket that causes no points when it comes to getting hired? I had one in 2011, and I guess that wasn't enough to keep me from getting another one. I just moved back to California from Florida, and there its legal to talk on the phone. Hadn't come to mind yet that you can't do that here, until an officer reminded me about an hour ago with a ticket. Ironically enough I was talking to a friend about how I got into paramedic school this morning. Obviously two tickets for the same thing looks awful, and it is awful, and then the whole thought of "you're going to be a paramedic and help with emergencies yet you're willing to cause one for being on your phone?" sunk it, so I already, and deservedly, feel like crap about it.. I'm just wondering how major of an issue its going to be for getting hired in a little over a year.
