Drivers
License Points
If you are convicted of certain motor
vehicle violations in North Carolina, driver license points are
placed against your driving record.
If you accumulate as many as twelve points
within a three-year period, your license may be suspended. The
accumulation of eight points within three years following the
reinstatement of your license can result in a second suspension.
If your driver license is suspended by
the point system, it may be taken for:
- 60 days for the first suspension;
- 6 months for the second; and
- 12 months for the third.
