Virginia CDL Suspension Laws
Virginia law imposes strict penalties on commercial drivers for serious traffic violations, which can lead to disqualification. Under Va. Code § 46.2-341.20, a first conviction for a major offense like DUI or leaving the scene results in a one-year CDL disqualification. A second major offense leads to a lifetime disqualification. Serious traffic violations, like excessive speeding or reckless driving, also carry disqualification periods.
