After the third conviction of a traffic violation for drivers under 18 years old, what is the consequence?

  1. 9-month suspension of driving privilege

  2. 6-month suspension of driving privilege

  3. 12-month suspension of driving privilege

  4. Lifetime suspension of driving privilege

The correct answer is: 6-month suspension of driving privilege

For drivers under 18 years old, after the third conviction of a traffic violation, the consequence is a 6-month suspension of their driving privilege. This is designed to emphasize the importance of safe driving and encourage young drivers to adhere to traffic laws. The graduated penalties system aims to instill a sense of responsibility and reinforce the seriousness of traffic offenses, especially among inexperienced drivers. A longer suspension, such as 9 or 12 months, could be imposed for subsequent offenses or more severe violations, but for the specific circumstance of the third traffic violation, the established penalty is a 6-month suspension. A lifetime suspension is not typical for this level of offense for young drivers; such severe measures generally apply to far more egregious behavior or repeated serious infractions.
