What is the maximum driver's license suspension length a judge can order when a defendant fails to complete an alcohol awareness program?

• A. Not to exceed six months
• B. Not to exceed twelve months
• C. Not to exceed three months
• D. Not to exceed nine months

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the statutory cap on how long a license can be suspended for failing to complete an alcohol awareness program. When someone doesn’t finish the program, the court can suspend the license, but the law sets a maximum length for that suspension. Not exceeding six months is the correct limit, so a longer suspension isn’t allowed under this provision. Options proposing longer periods would go beyond the legal ceiling, while a shorter period wouldn’t fully address the noncompliance. This six-month limit reflects the penalty framework for failing to complete the program.
