The mission of the federal anti-masking regulations is to hold drivers of the largest and potentially most dangerous vehicles accountable for unsafe driving behaviors. In this workshop, participants will learn to identify disqualifying offenses and sanctions unique to commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) and how enforcing these regulations helps reduce injuries and fatalities by keeping unsafe commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers off the roads. Additionally, participants will gain insight into the specific federal laws and regulations that limit the discretion of the criminal justice system in handling CDL holder cases.
