Commercial Drivers Beware!

Look out commercial drivers - firefighters - schoolbus drivers! The State of California recently changed the rules regarding DUI convictions - and they've changed the definitions too. You must be aware that if you get a DUI conviction, or lose a DMV DUI hearing, you will lose your commercial license for one year, and if you get a second, you lose your commercial license for LIFE. This is harsh, but California was forced by the Federal Government to follow the Federal truckers law.

Now, what is even worse is we're not talking about a commercial driver in a commercial vehicle getting a DUI - this is punishment for a commercial driver in their own private automobiles!

All I can say is this is bogus. You have no choice but to fight your case with a decent lawyer.
