Which of the following is NOT a reason for license suspension by the department?

The correct answer is that successful completion of a defensive driving course is not a reason for license suspension. In fact, these types of courses are often offered as an option to help drivers improve their skills and knowledge about safe driving practices. Completing a defensive driving course can frequently lead to benefits such as reducing points on one’s license or possibly even a reduction in insurance premiums.

In contrast, habitual reckless or negligent operation, traffic violations in another state, and permitting unlawful use of the license are all serious issues that can lead to a suspension. These infractions represent behavior that endangers others on the road and demonstrates a lack of responsibility or awareness concerning traffic laws. Therefore, they are legitimate reasons for a department to act and suspend a driver's license as part of enforcing road safety regulations.
