Question 1674 · Traffic laws
a “new driver” that is convicted of excessive speed.
- The Licensing Authority must renew his license as a regular driver, without the “new driver” restriction.
- The Licensing Authority will renew his license like that of any other driver, provided that he was not convicted of more than one offense during his “new driver” period.
- The Licensing Authority will renew his license like that of any other driver, and it is not permitted to set any condition for license renewal.
- The Licensing Authority may require him to undergo a driving test, and if he passes the test, he will be once again regarded as a "New driver" for a further period of two years.
Correct answer: The Licensing Authority may require him to undergo a driving test, and if he passes the test, he will be once again regarded as a "New driver" for a further period of two years.
Why this is the answer
Speeding is on the list of serious offences for new drivers. So the licensing authority may require further tests, and whoever passes them is a new driver again for two years. It does not have to renew the licence as a regular one.
