What a cdl & commercial driver ticket costs in Maryland
| Typical fine | Same fines as non-commercial drivers; the MVR consequences are the real stakes |
|---|---|
| License points | Maryland points apply, with federal CDL serious-violation rules layered on top |
| Insurance impact | Serious-violation convictions hit your MVR and PSP profile, raising commercial premiums and costing driving positions. |
| License risk | Two federal 'serious violations' in 3 years = 60-day CDL disqualification; three = 120 days. Masking rules bar PBJ from hiding a CDL holder's violations. |

Yes — federal rules count convictions in any vehicle against a commercial license. A CDL holder should treat every Maryland citation, personal or commercial, as an employment matter.
An acquittal at trial or amendment to a non-serious, non-moving charge — outcomes that truly keep the MVR clean, since PBJ can't do it for CDL holders. We connect you with a Maryland attorney who builds the defense around your operating career.
