- Demerit points stay on your record for 2 years from the offence date. Accumulating too many leads to interviews, suspension, and possible downgrade or cancellation of the commercial class.
- Zero tolerance for alcohol and drugs: a commercial driver (Classes A through F) must have no alcohol or drugs in their system while driving. The limit at the wheel is zero, there is no "legal amount."
- Medical reporting: a doctor who finds a condition that could affect safe driving must report it to the Ministry of Transportation, and the licence may be suspended until medical evidence shows the risk has cleared.
🧠 Memory hook: "Zero alcohol, two-year points." A working truck driver is held to a stricter standard than an ordinary motorist.
Recall: What blood-alcohol level may a commercial truck driver have at the wheel? How long do demerit points stay on your record?
