Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a commercial driver disqualified in Canada?
Under National Safety Code standards adopted by the provinces, a first major violation (such as impaired driving or leaving the scene) disqualifies a commercial driver for 1 year, or 3 years if hauling hazardous materials. A second major violation results in a lifetime disqualification.
What counts as a serious commercial driving violation?
Serious violations include excessive speeding (generally 40 km/h or more over the limit), following too closely, improper or erratic lane changes, and using a handheld device. A single serious violation records the conviction; a second within three years disqualifies you for 60 days and a third for 120 days.
Does a commercial violation affect my employer?
Yes. Commercial convictions and out-of-service orders are recorded against the carrier's CVOR (Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration) safety rating in addition to your own driver's abstract, which is why most carriers terminate or reassign disqualified drivers.
Can I drive personally while disqualified commercially?
A commercial disqualification specifically removes your commercial driving privileges. Whether your basic (non-commercial) licence is also affected depends on the underlying charge; offences like impaired driving suspend all driving privileges.
