6         combination of these offenses, arising out of separate
7         occurrences, that person, if issued a restricted

7         cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a
8         conviction upon one or more offenses against laws or
9         ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be
10         deemed sufficient cause for the revocation,
11         suspension, or cancellation of a restricted driving
12         permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
13         the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require
14         the applicant to participate in a designated driver
