Car permit · Alcohol and drugs

Which of these penalties can follow a conviction for drunk driving (DWI)?

Correct answer: Required attendance at a DWI education program.

Answer options

  1. AA five-year license suspension for a first offense
  2. BRequired attendance at a DWI education program Correct
  3. CA written warning that stays off your record
  4. DA $100 fine with no other penalty

Why

Texas, for example, requires drivers convicted of DWI to complete a DWI education program, on top of fines, a license suspension and possible jail time. A conviction always goes on the driving record and brings more than a single fine, and a five-year suspension is not the penalty for a first offense.
