What does implied consent mean for a driver who holds a CDL?

• A.You consent to searches of your home
• B.You may refuse every test without any consequence
• C.Consent applies only to tests at the terminal
• D.By driving, you have agreed in advance to take alcohol and drug tests when lawfully requested in connection with driving

Why

Implied consent laws treat the act of driving as agreement to chemical testing after stops and qualifying crashes. Refusing does not make the problem disappear; it triggers its own severe penalties for CDL holders.
