If you are convicted of driving a commercial vehicle while intoxicated you will find there are 2 unique penalties for these matters. For one, a first time offense does not allow you to get a hardship license. Secondly, you can lose your right to drive commercial vehicles if you test to having a .04 BAC (the legal limit for regular drivers is .08.) In either case you will lose your right to drive a commercial vehicle or one year*. Once the 1 year suspension is completed you must pay a $75 reinstatement fee.

*If you were transporting hazardous materials your license will be suspended for 3 years.

Remember, by using an effective strategy nearly every DUI conviction can be avoided with the help of a Florida DUI attorney.
