Anyone who has a commercial driver's license (CDL) is held to higher standards than your average passenger car driver. These motorists are required to abide by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Included in these rules are special intoxication standards that a CDL holder cannot violate. If they do, then they run the risk of losing their ability to remain commercial drivers.

Individuals who drive tanker trucks, church vans, school buses, and government vehicles may be required to hold CDL licenses.

Protection and restraining orders are virtually the same. Each of these is a court-ordered document that prohibits an individual from coming within a set distance of another person. That protected party can be a vulnerable adult, household member or child. This type of court order can be put in place in any number of situations including stalking and domestic violence cases. Anyone who violates a protective order in Maryland is subject to being arrested and charged with a crime for doing so.

Maryland's protective order law is Family Law §4-501, et seq. This state code spells out how an individual may be prohibited from making contact with another individual in various instances. That person subject to the order may be unable to reside in the same home, attend the same school or work with the person who takes out the order. The law also spells out how that same individual may be unable to enjoy visitation or attend counseling with the protected individual as well.

When facing a divorce, it's easy to feel defeated and surrender to negative emotions. You may start to feel like you are a failure or a victim, and you may start to become resentful of the decisions that you made in the past. While engaging in these types of thoughts is understandable, it's important that you don't let negativity eat away at you.

Instead, you can focus on the positives. The fact is that you cannot turn back time, and you only have one life to live. By learning from the lessons you've been taught from your past mistakes, it can be possible for you to feel thankful for everything that you have been through because it's made you who you are. The following are some tips for staying positive during divorce.

You get a protective order to keep you safe. It orders your ex to refrain from contacting you. The hope is that this will force your ex to keep their distance so that they do not harm or harass you.

What people sometimes forget is that a no-contact clause in a protective order really means no contact at all. It does not just mean not talking to you in person or not visiting your home or workplace. Those things are prohibited, but it could also mean:

• Not calling on the phone
• Not sending text messages
• Not writing letters
• Not sending direct messages on social media
• Not commenting on your social media posts
