Which statement regarding suspension and reinstatement is true?

• A. A suspended license can be reinstated only after the suspension period ends
• B. You can reclaim it immediately after paying a fee
• C. You must pass a new driving test
• D. You must reapply for a license from scratch

Answer: (A)

When a license is suspended, driving privileges are removed for a set period as a penalty. Reinstatement means you regain those privileges after that period ends and you’ve met any required steps. The statement is true because you can’t have your license back before the suspension finishes; only once the duration is complete can you begin the process to restore driving privileges. After the period ends, there may be additional requirements like paying a reinstatement fee or providing proof of insurance, but the essential rule is that the suspension must run its full course before reinstatement. The other ideas—getting it back immediately after paying a fee, needing a new driving test, or reapplying from scratch—aren’t universally required and don’t reflect the standard sequence of suspension followed by reinstatement.
