Sorry to hear about your predicament. You can get a limited driving privilege in North Carolina if driving is necessary for your employment—so it sounds like you’re in luck!
Here’s how the process works:
  • You will need to request a hearing.
  • The prosecutor’s office will decide if they want to present arguments against issuing a limited driving privilege.
  • The judge presiding over your case will decide the outcome.
Note that high-risk drivers, like those with a DUI or DWI, may be subjected to extra requirements to secure a limited driving privilege.
With marks on your driving record, your car insurance is probably sky-high. The
