Defense for CDL Holders in Wisconsin

If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you are held to a higher standard when driving a regular vehicle. Many CDL holders are not aware that their CDL is at risk when they get a speeding ticket with their regular license. 

Penalties for CDL Violations

If you get two violations (of the offenses below) within three years, it will disqualify your CDL for 60 days. Three violations within three years will disqualify your CDL for 120 days.

CDL Serious Traffic Violations

  • Following too closely
  • Reckless Driving

  • Speeding Intermediate 15-19 MPH over the speeding limit.
