Under NOTS, how long is the probation extended after a first violation?

Under the Negligent Operator Treatment System (NOTS), when a driver has their license placed on probation due to a first violation, the probation period is indeed extended for 12 months. This framework is designed to promote safer driving habits by closely monitoring the driver's behavior following a traffic violation. A 12-month probation allows the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to ensure that the driver adheres to safer driving practices and does not accumulate further points on their driving record during this time. This period is significant as it serves as a potentially corrective phase for drivers to improve their habits and decrease the likelihood of future violations.
