If a law enforcement officer swears that a driver has refused a legal chemical test, the Division of Motor vehicles must
Correct Answer
D. Revoke the driver's license for at least 12 months
Explanation
If a law enforcement officer swears that a driver has refused a legal chemical test, the Division of Motor Vehicles must revoke the driver's license for at least 12 months. This means that if an officer testifies that a driver refused to take a chemical test (such as a breathalyzer) to determine their blood alcohol concentration, the Division of Motor Vehicles is required to take action and suspend the driver's license for a minimum of 12 months. This is a serious consequence for refusing to comply with the legal test, as it is considered a violation of driving under the influence laws.

Which of the following happen(s) under the point system? I. A driver is sent a warning letter when he gets 4 points within 3 years. II. A driver who gets 12 points within 3 years may lose his license.

When a driver has a total of 7 points, which of the following may happen ? I. the driver can be required to file proof of financial responsibility. ll. the driver can have 3 points deducted if he satisfactorily completes a Driver Improvement Clinic.
Correct Answer
B. II only
Explanation
When a driver has a total of 7 points, it means that they have accumulated a certain number of traffic violations or infractions. In this case, only statement II is correct. The driver can have 3 points deducted if they satisfactorily complete a Driver Improvement Clinic. This means that by attending and successfully completing the clinic, the driver can have their points reduced, which can help improve their driving record and potentially avoid further consequences or penalties. However, statement I is incorrect as having 7 points does not necessarily require the driver to file proof of financial responsibility.

Conviction for which of the following carries the highest number of points ?
Correct Answer
D. Passing a stopped school bus unloading children
Explanation
Passing a stopped school bus unloading children carries the highest number of points because it is an extremely dangerous and illegal action that puts the lives of children at risk. This offense is taken very seriously by law enforcement and carries severe penalties, including a high number of points on the driver's record. Reckless driving, hit and run with property damage, and driving without a license are also serious offenses, but passing a stopped school bus unloading children is considered to be the most egregious due to the potential harm caused to vulnerable individuals.

Correct Answer
D. Speeding more than 70 mpH in a 55 mpH zone

If a driver is convicted of speeding more than 70 mph in a 55 mph zone, he will lose his license. This is because exceeding the speed limit by such a significant margin is considered a serious violation of traffic laws and poses a greater risk to the driver and other road users. Speeding is a common cause of accidents and is therefore heavily penalized to deter drivers from engaging in reckless behavior.

However, the second statement, which claims that most of the pedestrians killed in all traffic accidents are teenagers, is not mentioned or supported by any evidence. Therefore, it is not correct.
