What a cdl & commercial driver ticket costs in Kentucky
| Typical fine | Same fines as regular drivers; the conviction itself is the real cost |
|---|---|
| License points | Kentucky points apply, and federal CDL serious-violation rules stack on top |
| Insurance impact | Serious-violation convictions hit your MVR and PSP profile, raising commercial premiums and costing driving jobs. |
| License risk | Two federal 'serious violations' within 3 years = 60-day CDL disqualification; three = 120 days. Masking rules bar traffic school and diversion for CDL holders. |
