Driver's License Suspensions

When a specific amount of points are accumulated by a driver in a set period of time the state will take away his driving privileges. Traffic violations are numerous across the US. Being found guilty of a traffic infraction is a frequent occurrence. A driver may be disqualified from driving a commercial motor vehicle if a report has been received by the Department of Licensing that the driver has received a confirmed positive drug or alcohol test either as part of a drug and alcohol testing program required by employers, or as part of pre-employment drug and alcohol testing.
