A driver under 21 who is convicted of DUI for the first time faces a license suspension of what length?

Answer options

Why

Because of the zero-tolerance approach to underage drinking and driving, a driver younger than 21 loses the license for a full year after a first DUI conviction, a heavier penalty than adults usually receive.
