Tickets That CAN Suspend Your License Vs. Ones That WILL

Tickets where the North Carolina DMV WILL automatically suspend you license

In the following scenarios the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles will automatically suspend your driver’s license:

1. A conviction for speeding 15 MPH over the speed limit where you are traveling greater than 55 MPH
2. A conviction for speeding greater than 80 MPH

DO NOT JUST PAY OFF YOUR NORTH CAROLINA SPEEDING TICKET

Oftentimes, when you are charged with a speeding ticket the officer tells you to just pay the fine and you do not have to go to court. There are even instructions on many of the citations about how you can just pay off your citation without having to go to court. It is imperative that you understand that when you just pay off the ticket you are pleading guilty. As you can see, a minor run of the mill speeding ticket can suspend your driver’s license so whatever you do, do not just pay off your ticket. Speak to an attorney to see what options you have.
