Commercial Drivers and CDL Violations

Drivers can be charged with a CDL violation by committing any civil or criminal traffic violation while driving a commercial vehicle. This includes such charges as speeding, tailgating, reckless or careless driving, driving in the wrong lane, missing headlights and many more. Where drivers of normal vehicles face standard penalties for these types of traffic violations, CDL drivers can also face suspension or loss of their CDL license, which can mean additional monies spent to reinstate or reapply, or loss of employment due to license suspension or revocation.
