A driver operating a 12-passenger van (designed for fewer than 16 passengers including the driver) is convicted for the first time of violating a vehicle out-of-service order. Which disqualification period applies under 49 CFR 383.51(e)?

49 CFR 383.51(e), Table 4 to § 383.51, items (1) and (2)

Not every passenger vehicle gets the stricter hazmat-level penalty bracket, a smaller van under the 16-passenger-including-driver line is treated the same as any other standard CMV. Knowing where that line falls helps you understand exactly how much is riding on an out-of-service order, which depends on the vehicle you're assigned to, not just the fact that passengers are on board.
