Se Habla Español
Traffic tickets in North Carolina can have a profound effect on your life. First, there are DMV points assessed against your driver's license by the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NC DMV). These points can eventually lead to a driver's license suspension.
There are also insurance points issued for convictions for moving violations by North Carolina law. These points will substantially increase your annual insurance rates.

Types of Traffic Tickets in North Carolina
Basically, North Carolina traffic tickets fall into two categories: Traffic infraction charges (discussed below) and traffic misdemeanor charges (more serious traffic charges).
Traffic infractions are still serious charges because they contain numerous moving violations that affect your driver's license and your insurance rates. Many people believe that due to the less serious nature of the traffic violation and the inconvenience of contesting the ticket, they are better off just paying the ticket. There could be nothing further from the truth.
When you pay a ticket, you are pleading guilty to a criminal charge. That guilty plea, even though it may be a minor traffic offense, can contribute to a driver's license suspension and to much higher insurance rates. Even a minor moving violation may result in one DMV point and one insurance point against your driver's license. That one insurance point supports a 25% increase in your insurance rates.
Examples of North Carolina Traffic Infractions
Some common examples of North Carolina traffic infractions include the following:
- Unsafe Passing
- Speeding less than 15 Miles over the Speed Limit
- Failure to Stop (at a stoplight or stop sign)
- Following too Closely (tailgating)
- Speeding in a Work Zone
- Improper passing
