Introduction
Speeding remains one of the top concerns for commercial drivers, and for good reason. As a CDL holder, exceeding speed limits can have severe consequences on your career and safety record. The pressure to meet tight delivery schedules often leads drivers to push speed limits, but the risks far outweigh the benefits. From hefty fines to potential license suspension, CDL drivers must understand the impact of speeding violations.
Key Points
- Legal and Financial Repercussions: Speeding violations often result in hefty fines, points on your CDL, and increased insurance premiums.
- License Suspension and Revocation: Repeated offenses can lead to license suspension or permanent revocation, making it difficult to maintain employment.
- Increased Accident Risk: Speeding not only endangers your life but also increases the likelihood of accidents that impact CSA scores and safety records.
