Which of the following could be penalties for drink driving?

• A. Loss of license
• B. Interlock fitted to car
• C. Large fines
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Penalties for drink driving can include several different sanctions, not just one. Losing your license is a common consequence to prevent you from driving for a period, giving you time to reflect on the danger of drinking and then preventing further risky driving. An ignition interlock device might be fitted to a car, which means you have to blow into a breath sensor before the vehicle will start, and sometimes during the drive; this helps ensure the driver isn’t under the influence. Large fines are another typical penalty, designed to deter drinking and driving and to reflect the seriousness of the offence. Since a drink-driving offence can lead to any combination of these measures, the option that lists all of them is the best answer.
