A 19-year-old driver is convicted of DUI for the first time in Illinois. What is the minimum revocation period?
-
A.
Three months
-
B.
Two years Correct
-
C.
One year
-
D.
Six months
The answer is "Two years"
For a driver under 21, a first DUI conviction is a minimum two-year revocation, double the adult figure. One year is the trap: that's the adult first-offense revocation, and drivers who miss the doubling default to the number they already know.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Three months
Three months is the under-21 zero-tolerance suspension for any trace of alcohol, not the DUI conviction revocation. This answer grabs the other under-21 figure on the same manual page, assuming the penalty for a trace of alcohol also covers a full DUI conviction.
C. One year
One year is the adult first-offense revocation, and the under-21 minimum doubles it. This answer reaches for the one-year figure most drivers have heard for a first DUI, missing the separate under-21 rule that doubles it.
D. Six months
Six months is the adult chemical-test failure suspension, not a revocation length. This answer grabs the six-month figure attached to the pre-conviction .08% administrative suspension, treating a summary suspension as if it were the court-imposed DUI revocation.
