Commercial drivers are particularly at risk of facing the harsh repercussions associated with a DUI arrest, charges, or conviction. A commercial driver relies upon his or her ability to operate a commercial vehicle for his or her livelihood, and a DUI arrest alone is enough to put his or her driving privileges at risk. Due to the inherent danger associated with commercial vehicles, often as a result of their size alone, commercial drivers may not operate a motor vehicle while with a blood alcohol concentration of .04% or greater (the legal limit for other drivers is .08%).

A commercial driver may face class 1 misdemeanor charges for operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .04% or greater, even if the driver is off duty or is driving his or her own vehicle. A conviction of this kind may result in imprisonment for up to 6 months, driver's license revocation for 1 year, fines and court fees, and up to 5 years of probation. Possibly the most serious part of the penalties for a commercial DUI is the license revocation, as this means that the defendant will not be able to operate a commercial vehicle for an extended period of time.

Fortunately, you do not have to wonder what the future has to hold. Even if you have been arrested and your chances of winning seem bleak at first glance, there is often much that a competent attorney can do to positively impact your case. With our experience in this field and our dedication to our clients, we at Suzuki Law Offices can thoroughly evaluate all aspects of your case and determine exactly how we can assist you.
