Georgia DDS Practice Test

Which offense can lead to the suspension of driving privileges by the Department of Driver Services?

1. Driving with expired tags

2. Super Speeder

3. Hit and run or leaving the scene of a crash

4. Failing to wear a seatbelt

The correct answer is: Hit and run or leaving the scene of a crash

Suspension of driving privileges can occur as a result of severe offenses that have significant implications for public safety. Leaving the scene of a crash, commonly referred to as a hit and run, is viewed very seriously by the Department of Driver Services due to the potential for severe injury or death. This offense can lead to criminal charges resulting in legal penalties and, consequently, the suspension of the driver's license. In contrast, driving with expired tags, while not advisable and subject to fines, does not entail the same level of threat to public safety and is generally considered an administrative violation rather than a criminal act. The super speeder law applies elevated penalties to excessive speeding but doesn't necessarily result in an immediate suspension of driving privileges. Failing to wear a seatbelt is primarily a secondary violation in many jurisdictions, meaning it contributes to penalties but is not directly responsible for suspending driving privileges on its own. The severity and implications of a hit and run offense make it a primary candidate for suspension action.
