In Connecticut, what are some offenses that can cause the license of a 16- or 17-year-old driver to be suspended? If you are found guilty of speeding at over 85 mph, what penalties may you face? If you refuse to submit to a test of your blood alcohol content (BAC), how long will your license be suspended? What restrictions usually apply to newly licensed drivers under 18 years of age, and are there any exemptions from these restrictions?
These and other issues related to licensing and traffic offenses are addressed in this free Connecticut Fines and Limits permit practice test. You’ll learn about the license suspensions imposed for certain traffic offenses, the possible penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) or leaving the scene of an accident (hit and run), and offenses that can cause license suspension or revocation. You’ll also learn about the restrictions placed on a driver under 18 years of age and circumstances that can exempt the driver from these restrictions.
