If you're charged, you lose it for 3 months whether you're found guilty or not. If you plead guilty at court, this three months can be used towards your sentence. First time offenders convicted in court are given a year suspension. In most cases, the 9 latter months can be done by driving with an interlock device on your car.
You'll see that the police hand out a lot of those 24 hour suspensions. In those cases no further action is taken. The person can go pick up their license from the police station once the 24 hour period is complete.
