You are convicted of passing a stopped school bus three times within three years. What is the minimum consequence the manual describes?
-
A.
Mandatory attendance at a defensive driving course
-
B.
Driver license revoked for at least six months Correct
-
C.
Suspension of registration for the vehicle involved
-
D.
A $1,000 fine but no license action
The answer is "Driver license revoked for at least six months"
Three convictions within three years trigger a license revocation of at least six months, on top of the fine schedule. Drivers who read only the fine paragraph take the payment as the full penalty, which is what makes D tempting and misses the separate license action the manual attaches to a third offense.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Mandatory attendance at a defensive driving course
The manual does not offer a course as the consequence for repeat school bus violations. This answer imports the point-reduction course option from unrelated point accumulation cases.
C. Suspension of registration for the vehicle involved
The consequence the manual describes targets the driver license, not the vehicle registration. This answer confuses the stop-arm camera penalty aimed at vehicle owners with the license consequence for the driver.
D. A $1,000 fine but no license action
The manual lists the fine and the revocation as separate consequences, both of which apply. This answer reads only the fine paragraph and treats the payment as the full penalty.
