A driver age 20 is stopped and found to have a small amount of alcohol in their system, though under .08. Under Illinois law, this driver's license will be suspended for at least:
-
A.
Three months Correct
-
B.
Six months
-
C.
One year
-
D.
One month
The answer is "Three months"
For any driver under 21, any trace of alcohol carries a minimum three-month suspension of driving privileges. Six months is the trap: that's the adult failure-of-test length, and drivers who default to the adult rule instead of the under-21 zero-tolerance rule land there.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. Six months
Six months is the adult chemical-test failure length, not the under-21 zero-tolerance length. This answer applies the adult failed-test rule to a driver under 21 whose test came back below .08.
C. One year
One year is the chemical-test refusal length, not the under-21 zero-tolerance suspension. This answer applies an adult-rule figure to the under-21 scenario, on the habit that any alcohol-related stop draws a suspension of at least a year.
D. One month
One month is shorter than any suspension length the manual sets for alcohol offenses under 21. This answer guesses a lenient floor on the assumption that under-21 rules only apply at .08 and above.
