Within a 12-month period, how many reckless driving convictions trigger mandatory license revocation?

• A. 1 conviction
• B. 2 convictions
• C. 4 convictions
• D. 3 convictions

Answer: (D)

Reckless driving is treated as a serious safety issue, and the rule uses a rolling 12-month window to decide when license action is required. The required action is triggered after three reckless driving convictions within any 12-month period. This means once a driver accrues three such convictions within a year, their license must be revoked automatically, not left to discretionary judgment.

Think of the 12-month window as sliding with each new conviction. For example, if the first conviction occurs in January, the second in April, and the third in October, there are three within the prior year, so revocation takes effect on or after the third conviction. Additional convictions within that same window don’t change the fact that the license has already reached the mandatory revocation point.

This is about automatic, mandatory action, intended to prevent further high-risk driving.
