If a 16 or 17-year-old is convicted of speeding over 20 miles per hour over the limit, how long will their license be suspended?

For a 16 or 17-year-old driver in Connecticut who is convicted of speeding more than 20 miles per hour over the speed limit, the law mandates a suspension of their driving privileges for 60 days. This measure is in place to emphasize the serious implications of speeding and to promote safer driving habits among young drivers.

Speeding significantly increases the risk of accidents, and the higher the speed, the more dangerous the driving becomes. The 60-day suspension serves as a deterrent, reminding young drivers of their responsibilities and the consequences of violating traffic laws. This duration is specifically designed to impact young drivers, who are still in the process of gaining experience on the road, reinforcing the importance of adherence to speed limits for their safety and that of others.
