IN NORTH CAROLINA:
POINTS ARE POTENT
Take the case of Charlie Carelessdriver here. Charlie's walk
ing to work. Can't drive (legally) because he chose to ignore
some of the basic rules for staying alive in traffic-things like c
running a stop sign, failing to give the right-of-way, speeding
over 55 miles an hour. Charlie paid a few fines, grumbled, and ^
drove on-still indifferent, still dangerously. Until one day
WHAM ! he had 12 points against his record * and it was good
by driver license.
Don't get yourself in Charlie's fix. Know how North Caro
lina's Point System affects you. Start now.
* If he'd been real tmart Charlie would hate
heeded the warning letter he got at four points.
Q What is the North Carolina Point System
for drivers?
A. In brief, the Point System is designed
to protect law abiding motorists from
the reckless acts of others (by removing
such drivers from the roads) and to
keep the conscientious driver constantly
aware of the importance of maintaining
a clean driving record.
Q. How does the system a if eel me?
A. A capable, intelligent driver need have
no concern over the Point System what
ever, although it is wise to remember
that points are assessed against driven
convicted of traffic violations. A schedule
of offenses and points charged for each
appears elsewhere in thia advertisement.
Thus, if you accumulate aa many as 12
points within a two year period, your
driving privileges may be suspended.
Q. Arc there any intermediate steps?
A. Yet, the critical levels are described as
4-7-12, the first two levels offering en
couragement toward self-improvement,
the third meaning suspension. It works
like this: A driver with FOUR pointa
against him receives from the Depart
ment of Motor Vehiclea an official warn
ing letter; SEVEN pointa against a
driver means he may be called in by
licenaing officials for a discussion of his
troubles, at which time he may be in
vited to a Driver Improvement Clinic;
TWELVE points are grounds for sus
pension.
Q. Far how long?
A. 60 days.
Q Once my license is reatered, do I start
with a eleaA slate?
A. Yes, but be extra cartful. Persistent
carelessness means your license may
attain be suspended, this time upon
accumulation of 8 points in two years ?
not It. Good driving habita will keep you
out of danger, and a possible six month
suspension.
Q. Can accumnlated points be "erased?"
A. Yea, and safe driving will do it. Points
are automatically stricken when they
become two years old. Thus no points '
accrued within that time means a clean
slate. Border-line drivers may also have
3 pointa removed from their record by
attending a Driver Improvement Clinic
conducted by the Department of Motor
Vehiclea.
Q. Is an accumulation af points the only
way ay license nay be suspend ad?
A. No, several other offanaaa, including
drunk driving, require a mandatory
withdrawal of driving privileges. Sueh
violations are handled under existing
laws and are unaffected by point total*.
Q. Where can I get farther detaila on the
Point 8> stem and how It contributes ta
aafer North Caraliaa roa da.
A. Write to the Public Relations Division,
State Department of Motor Vehiclea,
Raleigh, N. C.
