A CDL holder refuses to submit to required alcohol testing after a crash. What is the consequence?
a.A written warning only
b.A fine with no effect on the license
c.A 30-day suspension
d.Disqualification for at least one year, the same as a first conviction for driving under the influence
Explanation
Refusal is treated exactly like a positive test, resulting in disqualification for at least one year, or three years if the driver was transporting placarded hazardous materials. Warnings, fines alone, and short suspensions do not reflect the federal penalty.
