    6  Statutes, is amended to read:
    7         316.655 Penalties.—
    8         (2) Drivers convicted of a violation of any offense
    9  prohibited by this chapter or any other law of this state
   10  regulating motor vehicles, which resulted in an accident, may
   11  have their driving privileges revoked or suspended by the court
   12  if the court finds such revocation or suspension warranted by
   13  the totality of the circumstances resulting in the conviction
   14  and the need to provide for the maximum safety for all persons
   15  who travel on or who are otherwise affected by the use of the
   16  highways of the state. In determining whether suspension or
   17  revocation is appropriate, the court shall consider all
   18  pertinent factors, including, but not limited to, such factors
   19  as the extent and nature of the driver’s violation of this
   20  chapter, the number of persons killed or injured as the result
   21  of the driver’s violation of this chapter, and the extent of any
   22  property damage resulting from the driver’s violation of this
   23  chapter.
