Some people think that when you get a speeding ticket in North Carolina it’s just a fine and an inconvenience, nothing more.

That’s not true.

Of course, many people know about our “Safe Driver Insurance Point” program that allows insurance companies to jack up your rates when you are convicted of moving violations in North Carolina.  But what a lot of folks don’t know is that you can lose your license just based on pleading guilty to certain charges, or combination of charges in a year!

Yep.  Getting caught going to fast in NC can result in you losing your right to drive!  That’s a big deal.

So if you like driving legally in North Carolina and you get a ticket, you should talk to an attorney about the particulars of your ticket, get some good advice, and protect yourself and your rights.
