        date of suspension.
            (2)  For a second offense, a period of one year from the
        date of suspension.
            (3)  For a third offense, and any offense thereafter, a
        period of two years from the date of suspension. Any multiple
        sentences imposed shall be served consecutively.
     Reinstatement of operating privilege shall be governed by 75

     program, his suspension of operating privileges shall commence
     upon his 16th birthday for the time periods specified in
     subsection (b).
        (d)  Insurance premiums.--An insurer shall not increase
     premiums, impose any surcharge or rate penalty, or make any
