Consequences of Drunk Driving

To drive a commercial truck, a driver is required to obtain a specialized driver’s license that allows him or her to operate an 18-wheeler. Obtaining the license involves thorough training and testing. The rules for operating commercial trucks are stringent because trucks are much more difficult to drive than regular automobiles.

With this in mind, it is clear why driving a commercial truck under the influence of alcohol is so dangerous. Since trucks are high-sided vehicles, they are at risk for tipping over. Additionally, since they are extremely heavy when their trailers are loaded with cargo, they can sometimes be difficult to handle, especially at higher speeds.

Commercial trucks are already dangerous if they are operated incorrectly. The potential for serious injury and death is exponentially greater when a trucker is drunk.
