  1. Your License and the Law!

  2. License Suspension & Revocation • Making a false statement to DMV • Failing to stop and identify yourself at the scene of a crash if someone has been injured or killed • Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs • Voluntary or involuntary manslaughter resulting from driving a motor vehicle • Committing a drug offense, regardless of whether or not a motor vehicle is involved

  3. License Suspension & Revocation cont… • Committing a felony involving the use of a motor vehicle • Taking a driver’s license examination for another person, or appearing for another person to renew a license. If convicted of this offense, your license will be revoked for ten years • Eluding police

  4. STRIKE ONE • If you are convicted of a safety belt, child safety seat or demerit-point traffic violation committed when you were under age 18, you will be required to satisfactorily complete a driver improvement clinic. • No safe driving points will be awarded for attending the clinic. If you don’t satisfactorily complete the clinic within 90 days, DMV will suspend your permit or license until the clinic is completed.

  5. STRIKE TWO • After your second demerit point conviction, DMV will suspend your permit or license for 90 days. • The court may grant you restricted driving privileges so you can drive between your home and work place provided there is no other means of transportation.

  6. Strike Three • After a third demerit point conviction, DMV will revoke your permit or license for one year or until you reach 18, whichever is longer. The court cannot grant restricted driving privileges.

  7. Suspended vs. Revoked • Suspended: If your license is suspended, your privilege to drive has been withdrawn temporarily. You may pay the required fees and reinstate your license at the end of the suspension period unless your license expires during that period. If so, you must show proof of legal presence, pass the two part knowledge test and road skills test, successfully complete the vision screening and pay the required fees.

  8. Suspended vs. Revoked cont… • Revoked: Revocation on the other hand, means that your privilege to drive has been terminated. Your driving privilege may be restored if you reapply for a driver’s license after the revocation period has passed. You must also show proof of legal presence. You must successfully complete the vision screening, two-part knowledge exam and road skills tests and pay the required fees when you reapply.

First Car Rule Same Time Rule When two or more vehicles approach an intersection at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. Vehicles approaching an intersection must yield to vehicles already in the intersection. In these illustrations, the Blue Car must yield the right-of-way. T – 1.14b

  12. Right–of–Way Concepts: Intersections Topic 3 Lesson 1 Left Turns Private road, alley or driveway Vehicles turning left must yield to oncoming traffic – unless there is a lead green arrow.
