Correct answer

Common Driving Test Mistakes
- 90 days(❌) —This is significantly shorter than the actual penalty. While some minor traffic violations might result in shorter suspensions, BAC refusal is treated much more seriously due to its implications for public safety.
- Six months(❌) —This is also less than the minimum penalty. BAC refusal is not treated as a moderate offense; it is considered a severe violation with substantial consequences.
