DWI LAWS IN NORTH CAROLINA

In December 2006, the Motor Vehicle Driver Protection Act of 2006 was enacted and implemented the largest revisions in drinking and driving laws in twenty years. These revisions made laws even more complex and made it easier for the state to convict you. Now, more than ever, a successful outcome depends upon immediately hiring an experienced, dedicated and aggressive DWI defense attorney to protect and defend you.

A simple driving while impaired charge typically results in an immediate 30-day suspension of your driving privileges and possible increases in your insurance premiums based on insurance points and surcharges. A conviction will cause the suspension of your driving privileges for a minimum of one year. Depending on your driving record, a four-year or permanent revocation of your driving privileges could be incurred. A conviction also results in significant court costs and fines, a possible maximum jail sentence of almost five years and a 400% increase in your insurance premium for a period of three policy years.
