What is a Vbr ?

I second this question... what in the world is a 'Vbr'!?!

Thanks Banks! That text sure does read like it contains a ton of gray area and lots of wiggle room for "interpretation" by Law Enforcement and the Judge?

I came across this and this might let you know what kind of impact it will have on your CSA score

DOT violations issued by state

If you click into any of the unsafe driving parts you can see what laws go into that part of the CSA. It looks like you either have reckless driving or a dangerous driving speeding 4 offense. Both have the most sever impact on your record.

CSA:

Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA)

The CSA is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicle

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
