Accruing ____ points on your license within a 36-month period will result in suspension of your license for one year.
- 24 or more ✓
- 21 to 23
- 18 to 20
- 15 to 17
Answer: A. 24 or more
Accruing 24 or more points within a 36-month period results in a one-year suspension of your license.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's point system lists the suspension thresholds side by side. Twelve points in a year brings a 30-day suspension, 18 points in 18 months brings a 3-month suspension, and 24 points within a 36-month period brings a one-year suspension. Since the question asks what total produces a one-year suspension over that three-year window, the matching figure is 24 points or more. Anything below that falls into the shorter suspension tiers.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 21 to 23 — A total in the low twenties does not reach the threshold the handbook ties to a one-year suspension; the one-year suspension starts at 24 points.
- C. 18 to 20 — That count is close to the 18-point level, which the handbook pairs with a 3-month suspension, not a one-year suspension.
- D. 15 to 17 — That count sits near the 12-point level, which the handbook pairs with a 30-day suspension over a 12-month period, so it is far short of a one-year suspension.
Remember it
Picture the numbers climbing with the length of the suspension: 12 points, 18 points, 24 points — 30 days, 3 months, 1 year.
