Understanding Commercial Vehicle Lane Violations
Commercial vehicle lane violations can encompass several offenses, including:
- Driving in any other lane except the designated lane for commercial vehicles.
- Driving in the third lane of a multi-lane highway.
Such violations under CA Vehicle Code Section 22348 (c), Speed Laws, are serious and can add 1.5 negligent operator treatment system (NOTS) points on your CA motor vehicle driving record (MVR), and the CA DMV will notify the DOT FMCSA of your conviction or paid fine.
As a professional driver, your commercial driver’s license (CDL) is your ticket to earnings and provides you with the opportunity to provide for your family. Recognizing this, we at Bigger & Harman, APC leverage over a decade of expertise in traffic law to defend your case.
