North Carolina has a very unique and powerful tool called the Prayer for Judgment Continued (“PJC”). A judge has the ultimate discretion to grant or deny a defendant’s request for a PJC. If a judge grants a PJC, then a driver can use 1 PJC every 5 years to avoid license points. Moreover, the drivers on a shared auto insurance policy can collectively use 1 PJC every 3 years to avoid insurance points related to some traffic charges.
