Which of the following is not a standard penalty for speeding or reckless driving under Phase 2?

• A. Fines
• B. Points on the license
• C. Mandatory safety programs
• D. Automatic license revocation after one year

Answer: (D)

In Phase 2, penalties for speeding or reckless driving are meant to punish, deter future risky behavior, and encourage education, all while keeping the driver on the road with consequences that are graduated and manageable. Fines provide an immediate financial consequence, points on the license affect your driving record and insurance, and mandatory safety programs offer instruction to reduce the chance of repeating the offense. These are common, proportional responses to risky driving.

Automatic license revocation after one year stands out as not fitting that standard approach. Revoking a license is a very severe step, and it isn’t typically issued automatically after a fixed period for a single speeding or reckless-driving offense. It usually involves more serious conditions, longer-term removal, or a formal process, and it isn’t one of the routine, incremental penalties used in Phase 2.
