North Carolina DWI Laws
Administrative and Judicial:
North Carolina has both administrative and criminal sanctions for driving under the influence. If you are arrested for driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of greater than .08 or if you refuse to take a chemical test, your license will be immediately suspended for 30 days. You can apply for a limited driving privilege after 10 days, but you must wait out your full 30-day suspension before driving again. You will need to install an ignition interlock.
Criminal sanctions for DWI are in addition to the administrative actions. There are five levels of DWI penalties if you are convicted by a court or plead guilty to DWI in North Carolina. For a 1st offense, you will be required to complete 24 hours to 60 days in jail and pay a $200 fine. Judges can suspend jail time and order community service after you spend 24 hours in jail, but you must not drive for 30 days.
Penalties increase with subsequent convictions, up to and including vehicle forfeiture.
Full information on all levels of DWI criminal sanctions and a complete explanation of administrative penalties can be found here.
