North Carolina Typically Treats New York Tickets as If they Happened in NC

New York and North Carolina both signed the Driver License Compact and therefore share traffic ticket conviction information. When North Carolina receives conviction information from New York, it will generally record it as if the violation occurred in North Carolina.  Therefore, traffic convictions in New York can cause a suspended license in North Carolina.

North Carolina Suspension Rules

  • North Carolina will suspend a license for 60 days for accumulating 12 points in 3 years, speeding over 55 mph is 3 points. 
  • Two convictions of speeding 55mph over the limit within one year  will cause a 30 day suspension. 
  • Or one conviction for speeding over 75mph, in some cases, may cause a suspension.

North Carolina’s rules with respect to speeding are quite strict and NC drivers ticketed in New York should take care to seek the largest reduction possible. Illegal parking and illegal muffler are two violations that North Carolina does not assess points. These two violations are also quite popular as reductions among prosecutors in New York.

Seth stands by his work and gets results

From the first phone conversation with Seth in regard to my ticket for allegedly operating an electronic device I knew I had the right attorney. He assured me I had the best in the area and he was proven right when my ticket was dismissed by the judge. The process to collect as much positive information from a client like myself to go to bat for me has proven that he is an experienced professional and willing to go the distance for his clients. I couldn't be happier.

I had a speeding ticket in NY state in may. I was within 20-30 miles over the limit and it would have been 6 demerit points in NY state. After checking lawyer reviews in google and talking to few firms, I decided to go with Seth. He was very prompt in answering all my questions before I signed up with him and also after that. He got my 6 demerit points reduced to 0 and made it a parking violation charge. I strongly recommend Seth.
