Commercial DUI Laws & Penalties in RI
In Rhode Island, the legal limit for drivers who are at least 21 years old is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent. However, the legal limit for commercial drivers is .04 percent.
Therefore, if a commercial driver's BAC is below 0.8 percent, they may still face penalties under the state's commercial driver's license (CDL) regulations. These penalties could include a 1-year disqualification of their CDL or, if the DUI involves a vehicle that is transporting hazardous materials, the disqualification period is up to 3 years.
If a commercial driver's BAC is 0.08% or higher, they may face both criminal penalties and CDL-specific penalties.
