Car permit · Alcohol and drugs

Which of these penalties can a driver face after a first conviction for driving under the influence?

Correct answer: A suspension of the driver's license.

Answer options

  1. AA suspension of the driver's license Correct
  2. BA written warning with no further penalty
  3. CA fine of only $10 and nothing more

Why

A first DUI conviction can lead to a suspended driver's license, and it usually also brings fines, possible jail time, and required alcohol education or treatment. How long the suspension lasts, how large the fine is, and which programs are required depend on state law. A token fine or a simple warning does not reflect how seriously DUI is punished.
