A person who holds or held a commercial driver's license at the time of the offense is generally not eligible for deferred disposition.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only if the driver is suspended

Answer: (A)

Holding a commercial driver’s license at the time of the offense triggers a restriction on using deferred disposition. Deferred disposition withholds conviction if the defendant completes conditions, but for CDL holders the law generally prevents this option for moving traffic violations. This ensures that license-related penalties and possible disqualification aren’t avoided via deferred disposition, in line with safety requirements for commercial driving. So, the statement is true: a person with or who held a CDL at the time of the offense is generally not eligible for deferred disposition.
