Nc Restriction Code 9 Drivers License Implications

Not only do you face community service, probation, and even jail time as a result of a conviction for DWI, but you also must deal with associated drivers license implications.

In Charlotte, this happens when the Mecklenburg County Clerk of Court sends the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) record of your DWI conviction.

Under the NC General Statutes, when DMV receives record of your DWI conviction they must revoke your drivers license.

The chart below summarizes the length of time your North Carolina drivers license will be revoked depending on these various factors.

However, even after you have waited out the required revocation period and paid the required restoration fee, your driving privileges do not automatically go back to normal.

An alcohol concentration restriction limits the alcohol concentration you can drive at to either 0.04 or 0.00 depending on the circumstances of your case.

The chart below details when an alcohol concentration restriction is required, the applicable restriction, and the length of the restriction.

A willful refusal to submit to this breath or blood test, or an actual violation of the alcohol concentration restriction, will result in additional one-year revocation of your drivers license.

An ignition interlock is a device that is installed in your vehicle and measures your alcohol concentration.

If your alcohol concentration exceeds the pre-programmed level, the device prevents your vehicle from starting.

This clock begins to count from the date your drivers license is actually restored, not the date you were eligible to have it restored.

For example, assume you were convicted of your first DWI and your alcohol concentration was 0.15.

Consequently, your drivers license was revoked for one year.

You waited the requisite 45 days and then received a LDP with an ignition interlock, which remained in effect for the remaining period of the one-year revocation.

Once the revocation is up, you apply to have your North Carolina drivers license restored.

As a result, you will only be required to have the ignition interlock on your vehicle 45 more days, not another year.

This means that even though your revocation time period has not ended, you may be eligible to have your drivers license reinstated.

However, the NC DMV may conditionally restore your drivers license if all of the following requirements are met.

Additionally, the NC DMV may also put in place any other reasonable conditions or restrictions they deem necessary for the remainder of your revocation period.

Under each scenario, you must meet all the listed requirements in order to have your drivers license conditionally restored.

Even more difficult to understand than that is the drivers license restoration process, requirements, and conditions that you must realize in order to begin lawfully driving again following a DWI conviction.

The DWI lawyers at Browning Long, PLLC can assist you through this process.

However, we can typically get your driving privileges reinstated almost immediately.
