Defending Your New Jersey Commercial Driver’s License
Under New Jersey law, a conviction for any type of violation that is considered a “serious offense” can impact your CDL. Some of these offenses include:
- Speeding more than 15 miles per hour over the posted limit
- Reckless driving
- Improper lane change
- Tailgating
- Any violation resulting in a fatal accident
Just because you received a traffic violation, however, does not mean that you are automatically guilty. An experienced attorney can investigate the facts surrounding the alleged violation to determine whether the ticket was properly issued.
