If you violate this! tiust, the State suspends or re vokes your license so as to remove vou i'.om the highway until your attitude, skiil, knowledge or phyi- ical condition has improved to the extcnt that you can drive safely. "Don't regard your driver's li cense too lightly. If you had to do without it after being accustom ed to driving quite a bit, you would realize what a great privi lege it is to be allowed to drive. "See that your driving skill, mental attitude, physical condi tion and knowledge of the moto-- vehicle laws and rules of the road are maintained ut all times in such a manner as to render you a safe driver and assure you of being al lowed to retain your privilege of driving."
