How is a suspension of a driver's license defined?

A suspension of a driver's license is defined as a temporary withdrawal of the license to operate a motor vehicle. This means that during the suspension period, the individual is not permitted to drive legally. The suspension is not permanent; it is enacted for a specified duration, and once that period has ended and any required conditions (such as completing a driving safety course or paying fines) are met, the driver's license can typically be reinstated.

In contrast, a permanent termination of driving privileges would refer to a situation where the individual loses their right to drive indefinitely without a clear path to restoration, which is different from a suspension. Immediate restoration of privileges is not applicable in the context of a suspension, as there are usually conditions that must be satisfied first. Lastly, cancellation due to multiple offenses suggests a more severe action taken against a driver's license, which differs from a temporary suspension.
