For a first offense of driving a commercial vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, how long will you lose your CDL?

6 months
1 year
2 years
Indefinitely

The correct answer is: 1 year

The duration of a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) suspension for a first offense of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is set by federal regulations. Specifically, a first offense results in a disqualification of the driver's CDL for one year. This regulation is designed to promote safety on the roads, recognizing the significant risks posed by impaired driving. The one-year disqualification aligns with the objective of discouraging such behavior among commercial drivers, who are often operating larger vehicles with more potential to cause serious accidents. It reflects the seriousness of the offense while also providing an opportunity for the driver to return to driving commercially after this period, contingent on not committing further violations. Understanding this regulation is crucial for commercial drivers to maintain their ability to work in their field and to uphold safety standards while operating commercial vehicles.
