Drunk Driving (DUI-DWI)-Traffic Offense-Drivers License Suspension
Se Habla Español
A driver's license suspension in North Carolina can totally blindside you. We have represented many clients who sent in a payment for an insignificant traffic ticket, only to be notified by DMV that their driver's license was being suspended. One major reason many drivers have their license suspended is the accumulation of DMV points. Eight (8) points in a twelve (12) month time will get your driver's license suspended, as will accumulating twelve (12) points in a three (3) year period.

Is Your Driver's License Suspended or Revoked?
Driving with a revoked license is a class 1 misdemeanor punishable by a maximum sentence of four months in jail. Once your license is revoked, a single conviction for a moving violation during a period of revocation will result in a one-year license suspension. Three convictions for driving with a revoked driver's license will result in a permanent suspension.
How an Experienced Lawyer Can Help With a Revoked License
A person driving with a revoked license, sometimes unknowingly, may subsequently be charged with numerous tickets for moving violations during the period of revocation. This can get to the point where a person may become hopeless of ever having their license reinstated. But, there is hope.
If your license is revoked it is urgent that the underlying cause of the revocation be identified and the driver's license be reinstated as soon as possible. The Law Office of Kevin Kennedy will investigate the underlying reason for the license revocation and determine the actions necessary to resolve the issue in the best possible manner.
Driving With a Suspended License and Insurance Points
Driving with a suspended driver's license is a serious charge. The ramifications of a conviction are significant, and at best will extend the time of your revocation or suspension, and at worst may cost you your driving privileges forever. Regardless of your circumstances, if you are ever permitted to drive again, it will cost your eight (8) insurance points, which translates into an increase in insurance rates of 220%! That means for every #100.00 you now pay, you will be paying $320.00.
