Which term describes the temporary inability to drive, while you may still use the license for identification purposes?

• A. License suspension
• B. License cancellation
• C. License recall
• D. License revocation

Answer: (A)

When your driving privileges are taken away temporarily but your license can still be used as identification, that status is called a suspension. It means you’re not legally allowed to drive for a set period, but the license card itself remains a valid ID during the suspension. You’ll need to wait for the suspension to lift and meet any reinstatement requirements before you can drive again.

This differs from cancellation or revocation, where the license is no longer valid for driving at all (cancellation typically voids the license, and revocation removes driving privileges more permanently or requires reapplication and testing). The term recall isn’t the standard phrasing used for this context.
