While every case is different, there are many ways drivers can lose their license for traffic offenses in North Carolina. These include being convicted of:
(a) speeding over 75mph if the speed limit is less than 70mph (example: speeding 76mph in a 65mph zone),
(b) speeding in excess of 15mph over the speed limit when traveling over 55mph (example: speeding 75mph in a 55mph zone),
(c) speeding over 80mph,
(d) accruing 12 license points within a three-year period
(e) having two convictions for driving in excess of 55mph in a 12-month period (example: in January being convicted of speeding 64mph in a 55mph zone and in October being convicted of speeding 79mph in a 70mph zone), and
(f) being convicted of reckless driving and speeding in excess of 55mph in a 12-month period.
