CDL Violations - Contact a Tennnessee Attorney
Tennessee traffic ticket attorneys help motorists with their moving and non-moving violations. Our traffic lawyers handle everything from parking tickets to license suspension hearings. If you have a CDL, it is important for you to realize that certain violations may cost you your CDL license.
According to federal law, a driver will lose his CDL if he has two serious traffic violations within a three-year period while operating a CMV (commercial motor vehicle).
Serious traffic offenses include the following:
• Speeding excessively, involving any speed of 15 mph or more above the posted speed limit;
• Driving recklessly, as defined by State or local law or regulation, including but not limited to, offenses of driving a motor vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property;
• Making improper or erratic traffic lane changes;
• Following the vehicle ahead too closely;
• Violating State or local law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation) arising in connection with a fatal accident;
• Driving a CMV without obtaining a CDL;
• Driving a CMV without a CDL in the driver’s possession.
If you are charged with speeding or any other traffic related offense, contact a traffic citation lawyer. Our office handles these cases in Knoxville, Maryville, Newport, Johnson City, Sevierville, Morristown, and Greenville.
