What is the penalty for a second traffic violation for drivers under 18?

The penalty for a second traffic violation for drivers under 18 includes a 3-month suspension of driving privileges. This measure is implemented to reinforce the seriousness of safe driving among younger, less experienced drivers. The goal is to encourage responsible behavior on the road and to reduce the likelihood of accidents. The strict penalty period reflects the state's commitment to ensuring that young drivers understand the consequences of repeated traffic violations, thus promoting better driving habits.

Other potential penalties, such as fines or mandatory jail time, do exist in certain contexts, but they do not specifically apply to the second violation for this age group. Likewise, a 1-month suspension does not align with the state's regulations for second violations, which are designed to escalate consequences for repeat offenses to discourage reckless driving.
