State law lowers penalty There are three ways to have your license suspended or revoked in North Carolina. The first is driving while impaired. Second, other moving violations, such as a reckless driving conviction, excessive speeding or too many points on your license, will also get a license pulled. Third, the court can revoke your license for failure to appear or not paying a court fine. There are 813 cases this week in Wake County courtrooms for charges of driving with a revoked license. Many of those cases go through traffic court, where they meet Chief Magistrate Dexter Williams.
