A driver is convicted of leaving the scene of a crash that caused a personal injury. What is the license consequence?
-
A.
Court supervision only, no other action
-
B.
Thirty-day suspension
-
C.
Full revocation of the license Correct
-
D.
Six-month statutory suspension
The answer is "Full revocation of the license"
Leaving the scene of a crash that killed or injured someone requires the Secretary of State to revoke the driver's license. Choice D is the trap because six months is the summary suspension used for a failed DUI chemical test, and readers borrow that figure whenever they cannot pin down the actual leaving-the-scene penalty.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Court supervision only, no other action
Court supervision does not apply here; the manual requires revocation when injury is involved. This answer assumes first-offense supervision is available for any traffic-related conviction.
B. Thirty-day suspension
Thirty days is the minimum suspension for two moving violations under age 21, not for leaving an injury crash. This answer applies a lower penalty from the under-21 chapter to a serious criminal offense.
D. Six-month statutory suspension
Six months is the summary suspension for a failed DUI chemical test, not the leaving-the-scene penalty. This answer pulls a DUI figure onto an unrelated serious offense.
