Modified Transcript of “What Are the Different Types of License Suspensions” for the Hearing Impaired
If you are convicted of a DWI or certain other driving offenses, the judge, as a condition of your sentence, may order that you not operate a motor vehicle in the states or highways of North Carolina.
That judgment of the court is then put into a computer system, a state-wide computer system that is shared with DMV, and then DMV is notified of certain convictions that you get.
The Judge normally sets forth the terms and conditions on what is called a Judgment and Commitment. They normally advise the accused, in “open court,” the sentence and conditions of imposition of the Judgment. That is true both in District Court and Superior Court.
The Clerk thereafter sends notice of the Court’s Order to the North Carolina Department of Transportation / Division of Motor Vehicles. The DMV may then also send written notification of suspension or revocation.
Convictions of offenses, especially during a period of revocation or suspension, may result in the imposition of an additional period of revocation by the North Carolina DMV.
DMV has its own set of rules and regulations where they will automatically impose DMV revocations or that DMV will refuse to issue you a new license for a certain period, depending on whether you have been convicted of one of those qualifying offenses.
It is important to understand, one can be suspended administratively by the Department of Transportation / Division of Motor Vehicles. The Court or Judge also has the ability, in certain circumstances, to Order a motorist not to drive.
The laws relating to Impaired Driving, License Revocation, DWLR Driving While License Revoked, NOL No Operator’s License can get complicated. It makes sense to talk with an experienced attorney to determine what options, if any, you may have.
