What is a common reason for a CDL to be suspended?

Accumulating too many points on the driver's record is a common reason for a Commercial Driver License (CDL) to be suspended. Driving is a privilege that comes with the responsibility of adhering to traffic laws and regulations. Each traffic violation can result in points being added to a driver's record, and for CDL holders, these points can accumulate rapidly due to the nature of commercial driving.

When a driver exceeds the allowed point threshold within a specified time period, typically set by state laws or federal regulations, it can lead to suspension of their CDL. This serves as a deterrent to unsafe driving behavior and promotes road safety. The suspension helps ensure that only drivers who demonstrate responsible driving behavior can maintain their commercial licenses.

The other options, while relevant to driving and licensing, do not typically result in the automatic suspension of a CDL. For instance, failing a drug test may lead to another set of consequences, but it is not just a point accumulation issue. Driving without a passenger or missing a vehicle inspection may not directly affect the point system in a manner that leads to suspension.
