Question: Is there a way to reduce my DUI?
Question Detail: My CDL was taken for a year because I got a DUI in my personal car. Is there a way to reduce that?
If you are charged with a DUI you have two ways to lose your driver’s license (and CDL). One way is losing the DOL hearing and the other is being convicted of the DUI. If you chose to enter the Deferred Prosecution program, and do it correctly, you can save your personal driver’s license and not get it suspended. However, and importantly, the DP program does not save your CDL – you must win the DOL hearing and not be convicted of DUI to save the CDL.
If this is a first DUI offense the CDL suspension is for 1 year (subsequent suspensions are lifetime). To answer you question, there is no way to reduce the 1 year CDL suspension - it is 1 year in length.
