CA Vehicle Code § 34501.4. Presumption of exceeding hours
of service limitations based on logbooks
Any driver subject to the hours of service limitations and logbook
requirements of this division, who is unable to produce upon
request of a representative of the department any driver's logbook
or is only able to produce an incomplete driver's log book for the
prior 24–hour period, is rebuttably presumed to be in violation of
the hours of service limitations in Sections 34501 and 34501.2.
Despite the tough laws in the area, Mojave Log Book violation
attorney Matt Ruff and Alex Griggs has successfully defended
more of these violations than any other lawyer in Kern County. He
understands that the consequences of one of these tickets on your
record can result in the loss of your employment. Therefore, he
fights and wins these citations in Court.
