New York CDL Traffic Ticket Defense:

Safeguarding Your Professional Driving Career

As a commercial driver’s license (CDL) holder, you understand the importance of your license for your livelihood.

In New York, CDL drivers are held to stringent standards, and traffic violations can lead to severe consequences, including the suspension or revocation of your CDL.

What Qualifies as a Commercial Motor Vehicle?

  • Vehicles with a gross weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more.
  • Vehicles designed to transport 16 or more occupants.
  • Vehicles requiring hazardous material placards.

The Legal Implications of CDL Violations:

  • Severe penalties for failing to comply with traffic laws.

  • Reckless driving.
  • Speeding 15 mph or more over the limit.
