About North Carolina traffic laws
North Carolina runs two separate point systems: DMV license points and SDIP insurance points, and the insurance points hit your wallet hardest. A single speeding conviction over 55 mph can raise your premium dramatically, and driving 15+ over 55 can suspend your license.
How points & your license work in North Carolina
North Carolina adds demerit points to your record on conviction. DMV speeding points are 2–3 and 12 in three years triggers suspension, but the parallel SDIP insurance points can raise a premium 30–80% for one conviction. The North Carolina DMV suspension trigger of 12 points in 3 years means a single avoidable conviction can push you closer to losing your license.
