The Secretary of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the applicant to participate in a designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. Any conviction for a violation of this section shall be included as an offense for the purposes of determining suspension action under any other provision of this traffic code, provided however, that the penalties provided under this division shall be imposed unless those penalties imposed under other applicable provisions are greater.
