Q: I have received my 2nd moving violation while under 21 driving in NC, can I take a Driving Course to avoid suspension?
I have an Illinois License living in Georgia. I have received a ticket for what would be my 2nd moving violation in 24 months while driving in North Carolina. I was informed by the officer that if I attended court, I might not get my insurance increased, which i assume means it would not be reported to Illinois. However, I am unsure what the chances of that occurring are and I'm also looking into taking an online defensive driving course, which is accepted in Illinois or in North Carolina. If I wished to take this route, through which state would I take it?
A: You should speak to an attorney in North Carolina to determine if you can prevent the ticket from being reported back to Illinois. It may need to be reduced to a non-moving violation to keep it off of your record.
