CDL Violation Defined Under New York Law
Last verified: April 2026 | Cortland County Supreme Court | NY Senate Legislature
Under NY Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) § 510, a CDL violation includes any serious traffic offense committed while operating a commercial motor vehicle. Serious offenses include speeding 15+ mph over the limit, reckless driving, following too closely, improper lane changes, and railroad crossing violations. A second serious violation within three years results in a 60-day CDL disqualification; a third triggers a 120-day disqualification. Certain violations, like a DWI or leaving the scene of an accident, carry a one-year disqualification for a first offense and a lifetime ban for a second. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) enforces these rules under federal FMCSA guidelines.
