Commercial DL DUIs: Officer shall take the driver's license and issue a temporary permit for non-commercial operation for how many days?

• A. 5 days
• B. 10 days
• C. 15 days
• D. 20 days

Answer: (B)

When a CDL DUI is involved, the officer immediately seizes the license but can still allow limited driving with a temporary permit. This permit lets the driver operate a non-commercial vehicle for a short, fixed period while the case is processed and the administrative steps are set up. The duration is ten days, making this the standard window for such situations. This setup balances the need for the driver to handle essential transportation with the safety and enforcement goal of restricting commercial driving during the interim. The permit is explicitly for non-commercial use only, so driving a commercial vehicle remains prohibited during this time. Other day counts aren’t aligned with the established policy, so they don’t fit the standard procedure.
