Your license must be revoked if you are found guilty of, or department records show __________.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

- Driving under influence of alcohol, drugs or other controlled substances.

Explanation:

As per the laws, 'driving under influence of any intoxicating product like alcohol or drugs also known as drunken-driving' is considered as an offence. To ensure the enforcement of this law effectively the state has specified certain penalties and punishments for the offenders like six months imprisonment or suspension of license for a substantial time period. Thus, if someone's found guilty of 'drunken driving or driving under influence'(of drugs, alcohol, or other controlled substances), his/her license has valid chances of being revoked for a stipulated period of time as a punishment.
