You are convicted of leaving the scene of a crash that caused an injury. What is the minimum period Florida law takes your driver license for?
-
A.
1 year
-
B.
3 years Correct
-
C.
2 years
-
D.
5 years
The answer is "3 years"
Florida applies the same minimum three-year license loss when leaving the scene results in death, serious bodily injury, or injury. Drivers who assume the license-loss length scales with injury severity read the plain-injury tier as lighter and pick the one-year figure.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 1 year
One year is the suspension attached to accumulating 24 points in 36 months, not the hit-and-run license-loss period. This answer assumes the license-loss length scales with injury severity, so the plain-injury tier must draw a shorter suspension than the death tier.
C. 2 years
Two years is the tracking window for repeat at-fault crashes that triggers the Basic Driver Improvement course, not the hit-and-run license-loss period. This answer carries over the two-year Basic Driver Improvement window and applies it as the license-loss length.
D. 5 years
Five years is the tracking window for the three-major-offenses habitual-offender rule, not the fixed hit-and-run minimum. This answer swaps the five-year habitual-offender tracking window for the license-loss length itself.
