For offenses that require automatic driver's license suspension, what is the minimum and maximum time the court may suspend the license?

• A. 30 days to 6 months
• B. 6 months to 2 years
• C. 1 year to 3 years
• D. 90 days to 12 months

Answer: (D)

The key idea is the time window the statute allows when an offense triggers an automatic license suspension. The court may suspend the license for a period between 90 days (about three months) and 12 months (one year). This range sets a minimum consequence to deter the offense and a maximum to avoid overly punitive, long-term loss of driving privileges.

The lower end ensures a tangible sanction, while the upper end preserves public safety without an extended, indefinite suspension. The other timeframes listed don’t fit this statutory window: they are either shorter or longer than what's allowed. In practice, the exact length within 90 days to 12 months depends on factors like the specific offense and any prior suspensions, but it must fall within that range.
