Car permit · Alcohol and drugs

A driver has just been convicted of DUI. Which of these is a penalty the driver may face?

Correct answer: Required attendance at an alcohol education program.

Answer options

  1. ARequired attendance at an alcohol education program Correct
  2. BA 5-year license suspension for a first offense
  3. CA $100 fine with no other consequences
  4. DTwelve hours in jail with nothing added to the driving record

Why

Courts commonly order a person convicted of DUI to complete an alcohol education program on top of fines and license penalties, and finishing it can be a condition for getting full driving privileges back. A DUI conviction is recorded and brings more than a token fine, and a five-year suspension goes far beyond the usual first-offense penalty.
