What does it mean if your license is suspended?

If your license is suspended, it signifies that you are not legally allowed to drive until the suspension period is officially lifted. A suspension typically arises from violations such as accumulating too many points, driving under the influence, or other serious infractions. During the period of suspension, any driving is considered illegal, and it could lead to additional penalties if caught driving without a valid license.

The other choices do not accurately represent the implications of a license suspension. For instance, while some driving privileges might be lost permanently, that would apply to a revocation rather than a suspension. Similarly, being able to drive during certain hours may relate to restrictions or limited-use licenses but does not apply to a suspension situation. Lastly, paying a fine does not restore a suspended license; compliance with the terms of the suspension is necessary for reinstatement.
