When Your Job Depends on Your License, You Need Maryland’s Ticket Fighter

Understanding CDL Violations in Maryland

CDL drivers are held to higher standards under both **Maryland Transportation Law** and **FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration)** regulations. Even a small infraction can carry serious consequences.

Common CDL violations include:
• Speeding 15 mph or more over the limit
• Reckless or aggressive driving
• Following too closely or improper lane changes
• Texting or handheld phone use while driving
• Operating a commercial vehicle without proper endorsements
• Driving under the influence (alcohol or drugs)
• Failing to report out-of-state violations
• Logbook or hours-of-service violations

These offenses can trigger automatic disqualification, even if committed in a personal vehicle.

Consequences for CDL Holders in Maryland

Unlike a regular driver’s license, a CDL comes with strict zero-tolerance rules. • Two “serious violations” within three years can suspend your CDL for 60 days. • A third serious violation can result in a 120-day suspension. • Certain offenses (DUI, hit and run, or leaving the scene) may cause **lifetime disqualification**.

Even one citation can damage your record and your career. Don’t plead guilty or pay the fine without consulting a Maryland CDL ticket defense lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What happens if I get a speeding ticket with my CDL in Maryland?
CDL drivers face harsher penalties than regular drivers. A single speeding ticket 15 mph or more over the limit can count as a “serious violation” under FMCSA rules. Call 🥊 (443) 629-7278 before paying the ticket to protect your record.

Q2: Can a CDL be suspended for violations in my personal vehicle?
Yes. Maryland law and federal CDL regulations allow disqualification even for offenses committed in a non-commercial vehicle, especially DUIs or serious traffic violations.

In many cases, yes. Maryland’s Ticket Fighter can often handle court appearances for CDL clients, saving you time off the road.
