In North Carolina if you get a ticket and you only have a limited provisional license, do you have to wait until you turn 18 to get a full provisional license or is it a year opposed to six months?

In North Carolina, if you have a Level Two Limited Provisional License than you should know to move up to a Level Three Full Provisional License you need to have six months of driving with no convictions of moving violations or seat belt infractions. So if you only have a Level 2 license you will need to start your 6 months without violations over and thus take a longer time to get your full license.

There are specific NC rules that apply to persons under 18 years of age. According to the NC DMV if you are a provisional licensee, your license may be suspended for:

  • 30 days, upon conviction of a second moving violation occurring within a 12-month period;
  • 90 days, upon conviction of a third moving violation occurring within a 12-month period; and
  • six months, upon conviction of a fourth moving violation occurring within a 12-month period.

So this first moving violation should not get your license suspended however if you are conviction of 2 or more violations within 12 months your license will be suspended. So you will need to be careful to not receive another citation within the next year to not lose your license for 30 days.

For any more questions or clarification of the graduated driver's license (GDL) rules for NC you should contact the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles. They can clarify for you if there are any serious offenses that if you are convicted of would cause you any sort of delay that make you wait until you turn 18 to get a full provisional license.
