To determine the correct maximum fine and license suspension period for a 1st offense DWI, let's analyze the given information step by step.
1. We are given several options to choose from. The correct option should match the maximum fine and suspension period for a 1st offense DWI.
2. Option 1:
- [tex]$1,000 and 1 year
- According to the question, this is not the correct answer.
3. Option 2:
- $[/tex]2,000 and 1 year
- This option suggests a fine of [tex]$2,000 but a suspension period of 1 year (which is 365 days). This does not match the correct answer since 365 days is greater than the correct suspension period.
4. Option 3:
- $[/tex]2,000 and 180 days
- This option suggests a fine of [tex]$2,000 and a suspension period of 180 days. This matches exactly with the correct answer for the fine and the suspension period.
5. Option 4:
- $[/tex]2,000 and 18 months
- This option suggests a fine of [tex]$2,000 and a suspension period of 18 months (which is approximately 540 days). This does not match the correct answer since 540 days is far greater than the correct suspension period.
Therefore, after carefully analyzing the options, we can conclude that:
- The maximum fine for a 1st offense DWI is $[/tex]2,000.
- The maximum license suspension period for a 1st offense DWI is 180 days.
Thus, the correct answer is:
$2,000 and 180 days.
