A driver under 21 is convicted of driving with any amount of alcohol in their body. What does the manual say happens to their license?
-
A.
A 30-day suspension
-
B.
A 90-day license suspension
-
C.
A one-year revocation Correct
-
D.
A six-month revocation
The answer is "A one-year revocation"
Any measurable alcohol or drugs in the body of a driver under 21 costs the driver a one-year revocation on conviction. Choice A pulls the 30-day figure from the provisional licensee moving-violation ladder printed on the next manual page and treats it as the alcohol penalty.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A 30-day suspension
30 days is the provisional-licensee penalty for a second moving violation, not the underage alcohol consequence. This answer grabs the 30-day figure from the moving-violation ladder printed just below the alcohol section.
B. A 90-day license suspension
90 days is another moving-violation ladder figure and is not tied to the underage alcohol rule. This answer reaches for the third-violation figure from the provisional-licensee list rather than the alcohol penalty.
D. A six-month revocation
Six months is the ladder consequence for a fourth moving violation, not the underage alcohol result. This answer picks the six-month step of the moving-violation ladder instead of the alcohol rule beside it.
