What might happen if a GDL driver is caught drinking and driving?

  1. No penalties will occur

  2. They may need to retake the driving test

  3. They face their vehicle being seized

  4. They receive a lifetime ban from driving

The correct answer is: They face their vehicle being seized

If a GDL (Graduated Driver's License) driver is caught drinking and driving, one of the significant consequences is the possibility of having their vehicle seized. This is part of the strict measures in place to deter impaired driving and ensure public safety. Impaired driving is taken very seriously, especially for new drivers who are under the GDL program, and they face stricter penalties than fully licensed drivers. Seizing the vehicle serves as an immediate consequence and reinforces the importance of compliance with driving regulations regarding alcohol consumption. Besides vehicle seizure, GDL drivers may also face fines, license suspensions, and other penalties, depending on the severity of the incident. The other options do not accurately reflect the potential repercussions of drinking and driving for a GDL driver. There are serious consequences in place to prevent such behavior and protect other road users.
