Practice question

If you are over 18 and receive three speeding tickets, what is the consequence?

  1. License suspension for 30 days
  2. License suspension for 90 days
  3. License suspension for one year
  4. License suspension for 180 days

Answer: B — License suspension for 90 days

In Massachusetts, if an individual over the age of 18 accumulates three speeding violations within a year, the consequence is a 90-day license suspension. This rule is part of the state's effort to promote safe driving habits and enforce penalties for repeated traffic offenses. The severity of the suspension reflects the importance of adhering to speed limits and contributes to reducing the risk of accidents caused by speeding. A suspension of 90 days is designed to serve as a significant deterrent, encouraging drivers to take their responsibilities more seriously and drive within the limits set by law, thereby protecting the driver and others on the road.
