ILLINOIS LAW ON COMMERCIAL DRIVER’S LICENSE INFRACTIONS
Traffic infractions can have a serious impact on a commercial driver’s career. Under Illinois law one is prohibited from operating a commercial vehicle if they are convicted of two “serious violations” in a three year period or, under certain circumstances, three convictions within a three year period. Serious violations include a speeding ticket in which one was driving by at least 15 miles per hour over the limit, reckless driving, lane change violations, engaging in distracted driving, or following too closely. If, after you receive such a ticket, you simply mail in payment then you will be considered to have committed the infraction. This is just one reason why CDL holders should contact an attorney immediately after receiving a moving violation.
