Answer

License suspension refers to the temporary withdrawal of driving privileges for a specific period of time.
License suspension is defined as the temporary holding or withdrawal of a driver's privilege to operate a motor vehicle for a designated timeframe. Once the suspension duration ends and any administrative fees or conditions are met, the driver's privilege is restored without requiring a full new licensing examination process.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the key characteristics of the administrative action described in the scenario.
The action involves a temporary withdrawal of driving privileges for a set timeframe (90 days) with restoration of the existing privilege after compliance.
Administrative terms carry precise legal meanings under motor vehicle law.
2
Compare the scenario characteristics against standard DMV administrative definitions.
A temporary pause on driving rights is defined as a suspension, while permanent termination is a revocation and voiding due to error is a cancellation.
Distinguishing between temporary privilege withdrawal and permanent credential termination determines the correct legal status.
