Which of the following is a penalty for someone with a third misdemeanor DUII conviction?

A third misdemeanor DUII (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants) conviction results in a permanent loss of a person’s driving privileges in Oregon. This severe penalty reflects the state's commitment to reducing repeat offenses related to impaired driving, which pose significant risks to public safety.

The rationale behind the permanent loss of license is to deter habitual offenders by imposing strict consequences that prevent them from legally operating a motor vehicle. This decision is rooted in the understanding that multiple DUIIs indicate a violation of the law that could lead to severe consequences, including accidents and fatalities.

The other penalties mentioned, such as a 1-year loss of license or a 6-month or 3-month suspension, apply to lesser offenses or first and second DUII convictions. However, the legal framework in Oregon clearly states that a third misdemeanor conviction elevates the consequences to a permanent revocation of driving privileges.
