revocation
The DMV may revoke a driver’s license when the evidence demonstrates severe, flagrant, aggravated, or reckless driving conduct in which the driver acted with a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of their actions. A high degree of negligence presents an increased risk to public safety and may warrant revocation of the driving privilege, even after considering any mitigating circumstances.
Examples of driving conduct that may support revocation include:
- Operating a vehicle at excessive speeds on congested roadways, particularly during periods of heavy traffic.
- Attempting to evade or flee from law enforcement.
- Driving under the influence in combination with reckless driving behavior that contributes to a collision.
- Demonstrating a flagrant disregard for foreseeable risks, including violations of traffic laws, traffic signals, roadway signs, weather or road conditions, known mechanical defects, or the safety of pedestrians.
- Engaging in racing or speed contests.
- Operating a vehicle in a reckless manner when the driver lacks the proper license, training, or experience required to safely operate that type of vehicle.
