You are convicted of a DUI in California. How long will DMV suspend or revoke your driving privilege?
-
A.
Thirty days
-
B.
One year Correct
-
C.
Six months
The answer is "One year"
A DUI conviction leads to a one-year suspension or revocation of the driving privilege. Choice A carries over the 30-day figure printed under DUI Arrests, which describes the temporary license the officer issues at the scene rather than the conviction penalty.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Thirty days
Thirty days is the temporary-license window at arrest, not the conviction suspension. This answer grabs the 30-day number from the DUI Arrests paragraph and applies it one page later to the conviction penalty.
C. Six months
Six months in the manual describes the possible jail sentence, not the license suspension. This answer reads the jail figure as the license figure because both sit in the same run of DUI-conviction penalties.
