## Chapter 3 Your Driving Privilege 

## Points 

## Driver License Points 

If you are convicted of certain motor vehicle violations in North Carolina, driver license points are placed against your driving record. If you accumulate seven points, you may be assigned to a driver improvement clinic. The clinic fee is $65. Upon satisfactory completion of the clinic, three points are deducted from your driving record. If you accumulate as many as 12 points within a three-year period, your license may be suspended. The accumulation of eight points within three years following the reinstatement of your license can result in a second suspension. 

## If your driver license is suspended by the point system, it may be taken for: 

• 60 days for the first suspension; 

• 6 months for the second; and 

• 12 months for the third. 

When your driving privilege is reinstated, all previous driver license points are canceled. This does not pertain to insurance points. 

## Points are given for the following offenses:
