While North Carolina is a part of the Driver's License Compact (DLC) that requires member states to exchange information regarding traffic violations, Tennessee dropped out of the Compact in 1997. Even without being part of the DLC any longer, the TN Department of Safety has decided to report tickets back to your home state if you are cited for a traffic violation in TN with an out of state license.

So Tennessee’s courts should notify North Carolina’ Department of Transportation of your drag racing infraction once you are convicted of it. When this transfer of information is done the NC DMV will likely place the traffic violation on your driving record.

According to the NCDOT Division of Motor Vehicles, if you are convicted of certain moving violations which take place within the State of North Carolina, driver license points are placed against your record. The DMV does not mention points for out of state offenses so you will need to check with them to see if points will be assigned or not for the TN racing offense.

In North Carolina normally your license will be suspended if you convicted of willful racing with another motor vehicle, whether it is pre-arranged or unplanned.

North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 20-16(7) notes the NC DMV can suspend the driver's license of any North Carolina operator if they are convicted of an offense in another state, which if committed in North Carolina would be grounds for suspension or revocation of their license.

So if you get convicted racing in Tennessee it seems as if North Carolina will find out, place the infraction on your driving record and could possibly suspend your license.Your insurance company would see the offense the next time they pulled your MVR and racing usually will raise your rates considerable.From the chart we have seen it could be worth 10 insurance points.
