What are the consequences that can result from driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs?
- Possible imprisonment
- A mandatory fine
- Driver license revocation
- All of these choices ✓
Answer: D. All of these choices
All of these choices can result: possible imprisonment, a mandatory fine, and driver license revocation.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's penalties table says that if you are convicted of an alcohol- or drug-related violation, you can face fines, surcharges, license penalties, and possible imprisonment. Its chapter review also lists fines, action against your driver license, and a possible jail term as results of driving under the influence. Because the question asks for consequences and each listed item is one of those categories, the choice that includes them all is correct. The passages do not say every case gets every penalty, but they do present all three as possible consequences.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Possible imprisonment — Possible imprisonment is real, but it is only one consequence; the handbook also lists fines and license penalties.
- B. A mandatory fine — A fine is real, but it is only one consequence; the handbook also mentions jail and action against your license.
- C. Driver license revocation — Driver license action is real, but it is only one consequence; the handbook also mentions fines and possible jail.
Remember it
Think of the penalties as three buckets: jail, money, and your license.
