license suspension
Lost driving privileges
License suspension is the temporary withdrawal of a person's legal authorization to do something, most commonly to drive.
A suspended license differs from a revoked one—suspension implies eventual restoration, while revocation is permanent or requires reapplication.
Common causes include accumulating traffic violations, failing to pay fines, or driving under the influence: He lost his job because of the license suspension.
