“What Happens to Someone with a Commercial License (CDL) if They Get a DUI in Nevada?”

In this video, DUI defense attorney Michael Becker dives into the strict DUI laws for commercial drivers in Nevada and the severe penalties they face.

🔹 Higher Standards for Commercial Drivers:
Nevada enforces stricter DUI standards for commercial drivers (CDL holders). While regular motorists are considered impaired at a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher, commercial drivers are deemed impaired at just 0.04 or higher when operating a commercial vehicle.

🔹 Severe Penalties for DUI:
The penalties for DUI violations are much harsher for commercial drivers:

First-Time DUI: One-year suspension of the commercial driver's license (CDL).
First-Time DUI with Hazardous Materials: Three-year suspension.
Second-Time DUI: Permanent revocation of the CDL in Nevada.

🔹 Fight for Your License:
Facing a DUI charge as a commercial driver can be devastating. However, a skilled and experienced DUI defense attorney can fight to reduce or dismiss the charges and help you retain your driver’s license.
