Which situation prevents a driver from being considered authorized to drive?

A driver is not considered authorized to drive in several specific circumstances, each of which is applicable in the options presented.

When a driver has their license cancelled due to a criminal conviction, it means that they have lost their legal right to operate a vehicle. Criminal convictions can range from severe offenses like DUI to other traffic-related crimes, which lead to the revocation of driving privileges.

Being disqualified from driving involves a broader range of situations where an individual's ability to operate a vehicle is temporarily or permanently barred. This could be due to a variety of reasons, including accumulating too many demerit points or other legal infractions that mandate a disqualification period.

Failing to renew one’s license, especially while owing money to SGI, also results in an unauthorized driving status. When a driver neglects renewal, they effectively allow their license to lapse, meaning they no longer hold valid driving privileges.

All these situations contribute to a driver not being considered authorized to drive under the law, demonstrating that each option presents a valid reason for disqualification. Therefore, the choice encompasses all scenarios that lead to unauthorized driving status, affirmatively indicating that none enable the driver to legally operate a vehicle.
