What are the implications of accumulating 12 or more points on your driving record?

Accumulating 12 or more points on your driving record leads to license revocation because it signifies a pattern of dangerous driving behavior. In North Carolina, the point system is designed to promote road safety by penalizing repeated traffic violations. When a driver reaches this threshold, it triggers a significant consequence aimed at preventing further unsafe driving.

Revocation removes the individual’s driving privileges completely for a set period, reflecting the seriousness of their traffic offenses. This aligns with efforts to enhance public safety on the roads by discouraging habitual offenders from continuing to drive while exhibiting risky behaviors. Other options represent situations that might occur under different circumstances or lower point thresholds, but crossing the 12-point mark specifically results in license revocation as a necessary measure to curb unsafe driving practices.
