What is the suspension period for a first offense of driving unaccompanied by a licensed driver?

The suspension period for a first offense of driving unaccompanied by a licensed driver is indeed 60 days. This specific penalty is designed to enforce the rules and encourage safe driving practices among Junior Operators in Massachusetts. The law recognizes the importance of having an experienced driver present to guide and support new drivers, thus playing a crucial role in reducing accidents and ensuring better road safety.

When a Junior Operator violates this regulation for the first time, a 60-day suspension of their driving privileges is imposed as a way to reinforce the responsibility that comes with being behind the wheel at a young age. The goal is to provide meaningful consequences that will deter future violations and promote adherence to the state's graduated licensing laws.
