What happens if a JOL holder is caught speeding for the second time?

When a Junior Operator License (JOL) holder in Massachusetts is caught speeding for the second time, a 90-day license suspension automatically applies. This penalty is part of the state's graduated licensing system, which imposes stricter consequences on young drivers to promote safer driving habits and emphasize the importance of adhering to traffic laws. The rationale behind this policy is to deter repeat offenses and encourage responsible driving behaviors among JOL holders. The graduated licensing system is designed with the understanding that young and inexperienced drivers may need more guidance when it comes to following traffic regulations.

In this case, a 90-day suspension acts as a significant consequence that not only penalizes the driver but also serves as a critical learning opportunity to prevent future infractions.
