You're driving a motorcoach designed to carry 20 passengers (including yourself) when you're convicted of violating a driver or vehicle out-of-service order. This is your first such conviction. Under 49 CFR 383.51(e), what is your CDL disqualification period?

Why This Matters
Ignoring an out-of-service order is one of the fastest ways to lose your CDL for years, not months. If you're driving anything built to seat 16 or more people counting yourself, a shuttle, a motorcoach, a school bus, the penalty bracket is the same harsh one used for hazmat haulers, not the lighter standard-vehicle bracket. Knowing which bracket applies to your vehicle matters because the gap between brackets can mean the difference between months and years without a license.
