The ramifications of a drunk driving conviction in North
Carolina include mandatory alcohol assessment and treatment, community service
and probation, fines, court costs, increased insurance rates, mandatory jail
time, suspension, revocation or loss of a driver's license, and vehicle
immobilization or vehicle forfeiture. A charge of driving while impaired (DWI)
is a serious offense and in North Carolina mandates:
Immediate revocation of driver's license for 30 days
Driver's license revocation for one year if convicted
Fines up to $4,000.00
Up to 2 years in jail
While your license is automatically suspended for 30 days you are able to get
your license back after 10 days if you:
Get a certified 7 year driving history
Get an alcohol assessment and petition for a limited driving privilege
Set a hearing by filing the petition for limited driving privilege
Present the requisite information to the judge and file a copy of the executed
limited driving privilege.
If you are convicted on a first offense, there is a possibility that you can get
a temporary driving privilege for a period of one year until your suspension
period ends.
Because the stakes in a DUI-DWI case in North Carolina are high, a lawyer
defending a client accused of drunk driving or driving while impaired needs to
be proactive in discovery and able to identify whether the police violated
either constitutional or North Carolina law. Common issues that we raise when
defending a client accused of drunk driving include:
Whether there was reasonable suspicion to stop the driver for drunk driving
Whether there was probable cause to arrest the driver for drunk driving
Whether Miranda warnings were provided
Whether law enforcement provided proper North Carolina implied consent warnings
Whether the driver refused to submit to a blood or breath test
Whether the driver failed a breath or blood test
