Understanding License Suspension

Many clients come to us who were not even aware their licenses were suspended until they were pulled over for a new driving violation. Then they discover that their license was automatically suspended, which can lead to serious, unforeseen consequences.

In North Carolina, your license can be suspended automatically in many ways, including:

• Going more than 15 miles per hour (mph) over the speed limit
• Two speeding convictions of more than 55 mph within a year of each other
• A speeding conviction of more than 55 mph and a reckless driving conviction within one year of each other
• Willfully racing with another vehicle
• Conviction for speeding over 75 mph
• Having drunk driving and underage drinking violations

The length of time your license is suspended for depends on the offense you have been cited for as well as any prior convictions for other traffic offenses.

Understanding The License Restoration Process In North Carolina

It is important to note that suspension and revocation do not necessarily mean the end of your license for all time. You are entitled to a hearing at the DMV where you can try to get your license reinstated.

Preparing for DMV hearing is not a process you should tackle on your own. Without help from a skilled criminal defense attorney, you may not be taking the right steps to ensure eligibility for license restoration. Worse still, you could fail to provide the correct documentation or an effective argument for why you need your license restored. Inevitably, you may end up saying something incriminating or fail to follow the process precisely, all of which could end up doing more harm than good and cause you to lose your license for another year.
