When Do Zero-Tolerance Laws Apply i Minnesota?
August 5, 2010 10:53 am LegalMinnesota has zero tolerance for school bus driving and alcohol in the system. Minnesota has made it unlawful to drive a school bus when there is physical evidence in the person’s body of the consumption of any amount of alcohol. In addition to criminal penalties, such a violation also triggers cancellation of the person’s school bus driving endorsement and, upon conviction, disqualification of the person’s commercial driving privileges.
However, as with other non-bus commercial vehicle DWI violations, the person would remain validly licensed to drive regular motor vehicles unless he or she also has violated the higher standards of regular DWI law. Please visit your Isanti County DWI Attorney for details.
