Final answer:
Conviction for leaving the scene of an accident as a CMV driver results in a minimum one-year disqualification from driving a CMV for a first offense, and penalties increase for subsequent offenses.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are convicted of leaving the scene of an accident as a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver, you face a serious penalty that includes disqualification from driving a CMV. The correct answer to how long you will be disqualified is D. One year. This disqualification period is the minimum for a first time offense. However, if the vehicle is placarded for hazardous materials or if the offense occurs while operating a vehicle designed to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver, the disqualification period is three years. Repeated offenses could result in a lifetime disqualification from driving a CMV.
