TRUCKS - A DUI & CDL

CDL DUI Attorney The Commercial Motor Vehicle Act of 1986 (The Act) has established a 0.04% blood alcohol content as the maximum alcohol level a commercial vehicle driver can have in his or her system. Once a truck driver’s BAC level goes above 0.04%, they can be arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI or DWI).

When a commercial vehicle driver is arrested for a DUI or DWI, he or she may be disqualified from driving a commercial vehicle for one year following their first DWI conviction. If the driver was transporting hazardous material when they receive their first DUI or DWI conviction, the minimum disqualification time period increases to 3 years. After a second DWI conviction, the driver will be disqualified from operating a commercial motor vehicle for life.

DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS (DUID)

A DWI charge involving drugs is a serious matter with severe penalties. However, in the case of a DWI involving drugs, the state has a difficult case to prove. The sobriety and breathalyzer tests that show a person to be under the influence of alcohol do not show if a person is under the influence of drugs. Only a skilled New Jersey DUID or DUI-CDS Attorney can help you prove your innocence.

Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) charges can be brought up against any person suspected of driving while under the influence of any hallucinogenic, narcotic, or other habit-producing drug. Drugs considered to affect the influence of driving include marijuana, cocaine, LSD, heroin, or other narcotics, including prescription or over the counter drugs. DUID attorney NJ

If you are pulled over under the suspicion of DUID, you are not required to provide a blood, breath or urine sample to the officer. The New Jersey law of Implied Consent to take these tests is limited only to suspicion of drunk driving –not drugs. Those with commercial licenses are required to submit to a chemical test if suspected of DUID.

Even if you took a chemical test, a Drug Recognition Expert must administer the test. If the station you tested at did not have an expert on hand, your test results will be inadmissible in court.
