motor vehicle, or when a defendant who has a blood alcohol level of
0.04% or greater operates a commercial motor vehicle. “Commercial
motor vehicle” is defined in AS 28.40.100. A defendant who operates a
commercial motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol, inhalants, or

offenses are committed in commercial vehicles, and for other offenses
(e.g. leaving the scene, failing to file an accident report, felonies
facilitated by the use of a commercial vehicle, driving in violation of out of
