A DUI (driving under the influence) conviction means that you were caught driving a vehicle while intoxicated. This is a serious offense that can lead to jail time, fines, and the loss of your driver's license.
An open container conviction means that you were caught with an open container of alcohol in a vehicle. This is also a serious offense that can lead to fines and the loss of your driver's license.
If you have a DUI and open container conviction, you are not allowed to drive a commercial motor vehicle (CMV), such as a truck. This is because CMVs are considered to be a public safety risk, and drivers of CMVs are held to a higher standard of care than other drivers.
If you are caught driving a CMV with a DUI and open container conviction, you could face even more serious penalties, including additional jail time, fines, and the loss of your commercial driver's license (CDL).
It is important to note that the specific penalties for DUI and open container convictions can vary from state to state. Therefore, it is important to consult with an attorney to learn more about the specific laws in your state.
