So for a few years i've wanted to get my cdl and drive I actually got my learners permit however right before covid I got into an accident, lady whos right lane ended merged into me and i tried to quickly avoid the accident, had to basically go into oncoming traffic lane (no traffic coming other way seemed safest way to avoid this accident) and do a sharp uturn quickly to avoid her.. she basically pushed me there.. however apparently the side of my car still hit the side of hers. I left the scene because I didn't think she actually hit me.. basically thought it was a near miss sighed and left... because i left insurance said its a "at fault" accident. I got summonsed for a "leaving scene of property damage" due to covid i've waited almost a year. my attorney says he will have the charges dismissed. but when nobody knows. does this disqualify me from a trucking career in the near future? it's been almost a year since the incident just no word on the actual case..... covid... i'm reading that dismissed charges still show up on record searches? how big of a deal is this? my criminal record is clean and mvr clean otherwise..
