New Law,.. Traffic Tickets
RALEIGH—In the future,
persons who fail to appear in
court or who do not pay off
their traffic tickets will find
they cannot acquire or renew
their North Carolina driver’s
license, according to North
Carolina Department of
Transportation’s (NCDOT’s)
Division of Motor Vehicles
(DMV) officials.
The law was enacted by the
1981 General Assembly and
became effective for all 90-
day failures occurring on or
after October 1, 1981,
according to DMV officers.
A "90-day failure’’—for the
purpose of acquiring or
renewing a driver’s license
under the motor vehicles
laws —is considered a
conviction for the offense
charged on the citation or
warrant.
The new legislation directs
that a driver, who appears
before the court within 12
months after a ’’90-day
failure’’ has been entered,
may received a driver’s
by paying the court costs or
answering the charge.
Thereafter, paying court costs
will be a prerequisite to
obtaining or renewing a
driver’s license.
In appreciation of an unselfish and exceptional contribution to the growth of a
student - oriented educational program in the New Bern City and Craven County
Schools.
