a “new driver” that is convicted of excessive speed.
- The Licensing Authority must renew his license as a regular driver, without the “new driver” restriction.
- The Licensing Authority will renew his license like that of any other driver, provided that he was not convicted of more than one offense during his “new driver” period.
- The Licensing Authority will renew his license like that of any other driver, and it is not permitted to set any condition for license renewal.
- Correct answer: The Licensing Authority may require him to undergo a driving test, and if he passes the test, he will be once again regarded as a "New driver" for a further period of two years.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The Licensing Authority may require him to undergo a driving test, and if he passes the test, he will be once again regarded as a "New driver" for a further period of two years.
A new driver is on a probation period, and the Licensing Authority monitors how he drives. A conviction such as excessive speed allows the Authority to require a driving test, and if he passes, the new driver period starts again for two more years. So renewal as a regular driver is not automatic, and the Authority may set conditions.
