Paying a fine for a speeding ticket in North Carolina for a speed of 81 miles per hour (or higher) in an area with a speed limit of less than 70 is an admission of guilt and carries with it a suspension of your driver’s license for up to a year.
Failure to appear in court for a traffic ticket can result in the judge issuing a warrant for your arrest and a revocation of your license. If this happens and if a law enforcement officer subsequently stops you, then it is likely that you will be charged with driving with a revoked driver’s license.
Insurance cost increases resulting from traffic offenses mean higher premiums for three full years. The first moving offense often means an increase of 25% in the premium while second and third offenses can carry with them increases of 60% and 100% in premiums and difficulties in obtaining coverage.
If your driver’s license has a commercial endorsement, convictions for traffic offenses can have major impacts on your commercial driver’s license and the ability for you to address the requirements of your occupation and livelihood.
