On-Demand: Impaired Driving by CDL Holders
60-minute presentation
1.00 CLE Credit
Commercial Driver License holders have the privilege of operating 80,000-pound vehicles, and with that privilege comes greater training, licensing expectations and responsibility. Explore the serious implications of DUI offenses for commercial drivers, including the potential licensing consequences and the complex issue of masking charges. Delve into the legal, professional, and ethical aspects surrounding this critical topic, raising awareness, and promoting responsible driving practices in the commercial sector. All traffic safety professionals, from roadside to record, need to work together to ensure that all convictions, especially impaired driving convictions, are not masked and are recorded on the defendant’s driving record, ensuring that this record is complete and accurate, and thus adhering to federal and state law.
