What are the consequences for a JOL holder driving 20 mph over the speed limit?

A JOL (Junior Operator’s License) holder who is caught driving 20 mph over the speed limit faces specific consequences designed to emphasize the seriousness of speeding violations, particularly for young and inexperienced drivers. The correct consequence for this violation is a 60-day suspension of the driver's license and the addition of 2 points to the driving record.

The rationale behind this penalty is to instill safe driving habits in young operators. Speeding, especially at such rates, increases the risk of accidents and endangers both the driver and others on the road. A 60-day suspension is significant enough to encourage the JOL holder to take the implications of their driving behavior seriously, while the points added to their driving record further contribute to longer-term consequences in terms of license eligibility and insurance rates.

Other potential outcomes like warnings or shorter suspensions do not adequately address the gravity of driving excessively over the speed limit, which is why they are not the correct consequences in this scenario.
