Not long ago we addressed the pitfalls and potentially life-changing consequences for professional drivers who are facing a possible conviction for drunken driving. As many readers will recall, my law firm understands how the threat of losing one's commercial driver's license (CDL) due to a drinking and driving charge can be more than overwhelming. Losing one's ability to make a living due a suspended or revoked CDL can have an economic impact on an individual and his families far beyond that of the average office worker.
As New Jersey DWI defense lawyers, I and my legal team know that any loss of driving privileges can be disrupting to one's daily life. It is understandable that anyone who uses a motor vehicle to get to and from work would be highly inconvenienced by a license suspension due to DWI, but generally that suspension would not affect most individuals' livelihood in the way that a similar suspension would a affect a professional driver.
Semi tractor-trailer drivers, cabbies, delivery truck operators and tradesmen rely on their ability to use a company vehicle to directly generate an income. But here in the Garden State, when a person is convicted of a drunk driving offense, the possible loss of private driver's license has a direct effect on that person's CDL. And, we might add, when it comes to the rules and regulations surrounding possession of a CDL, federal law has much a lower limit on what is considered drunk driving.
