Those some crazy traffic laws you folks have there in NC. So how many points you have to have before your driver license is suspended?

dean29

You start off with 12 points so you have to lose all in order to lose your license. It's the insurance that is the killer here with the laws being that even going 80 in a 70 zone is the same class as reckless driving.

I took my traffic school via the net which took me a whole
6 hours and took a test online and got it over with. Not
bad and actually felt it was more productive for everyone.
It required you to pass the test, so you for sure are going
to remember by the time you take it.

Dean, then I guess you really save lots of $$$$$$$$$$$ for getting out the ticket.
