CDL DUI — Charged While Driving Personal Vehicle
If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you may be asking: Can I lose my license if I’m arrested for DUI while driving my personal vehicle?
The answer is yes — you can still face consequences.
Even if the arrest happened in your own car and not in a commercial vehicle, you are still subject to Georgia’s Administrative License Suspension (ALS) process. That means your regular driving privileges can be suspended following a DUI arrest, just like any other driver.
However, whether your commercial driver’s license itself is affected can depend on the specific circumstances of the case, including how it is resolved. A DUI conviction can have serious implications for CDL holders, even if the incident occurred in a personal vehicle.
Because your livelihood may depend on your ability to drive, it’s critical to address both the administrative and criminal aspects of the case quickly and strategically.
