|---|---|
| License points | Standard Vermont points, plus federal CDL disqualification rules |

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Even though most Vermont tickets are civil Judicial Bureau matters, a determination against you is reported and counts under federal CDL rules — including for tickets received in your personal vehicle.
The federal 'serious violation' list: 15+ mph over the limit, following too closely, improper lane changes, reckless or negligent operation, and texting behind the wheel, among others. Two in three years means a 60-day disqualification.
No — federal anti-masking rules bar courts from deferring or concealing a CDL holder's violations. The workable goal is negotiating the charge itself down to something non-serious or getting it dismissed at hearing.
Almost always. A single serious-violation conviction can affect employability with carriers that audit driving records, which dwarfs the cost of contesting. We connect CDL drivers with Vermont attorneys who handle these hearings.
