    • (1) Suspend the driver's license for any period not to exceed one (1) year;
    • (2) Suspend the driver's license for any period, not to exceed one (1) year, but grant a conditional permit to drive during the suspension, by imposing conditions and restrictions not to exceed one (1) year defining circumstances under which the violator will be allowed to drive while under suspension;
    • (3) Require the attendance of the violator at a driver's training school;

    • (5) Require minors to write themes or essays on safe driving; or
