How long is the disqualification for a first alcohol offense committed while hauling hazardous materials that require placards?
- A.One year, the same as any load
- B.Three years
- C.Six months
- D.Two weeks
Correct answer
B. Three years
Why
Because a hazmat crash can harm far more people, an alcohol offense while placarded carries a three-year disqualification for a first offense. A second major offense of the covered types generally means lifetime disqualification.
