Question

How many points are subtracted from a driver's record for every year they drive without a violation or suspension?

1) one, but doesn't go below zero
2) two, but doesn't go below zero
3) three, but doesn't go below zero
4) five, but doesn't go below zero

Answer 1

Final answer:

One point is subtracted from a driver's record for every year they drive without a violation or suspension.

The correct answer is 1) one, but doesn't go below zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every year a driver goes without a violation or suspension, one point is subtracted from their record. However, the points cannot go below zero, so if a driver has zero points on their record, they won't go into negative points even if they continue to drive without any violations or suspensions. This system encourages drivers to uphold a clean driving history, but once they reach zero points, no further deductions occur, ensuring a baseline level of credit for responsible driving behavior.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1) one, but doesn't go below zero.
