What Is The Law Regarding Alcohol Concentration Restrictions in NC?
Top rated Greensboro DWI attorney Chad Garrett reflects on the NC driver’s license restrictions after a DWI conviction.
If your license is revoked in North Carolina, by a DWI or driving after consuming under 21, then a condition of restoration includes a cap on alcohol consumption. For first offenders the restriction is .04 blood alcohol content. If under 21, then a 0.0 restriction applies. A 0.0 restriction also applies if the conviction is a second or subsequent DWI or impaired driving offense.
The licensee must also agree to submit to all chemical tests if so requested by a law enforcement officer. This restriction further requires the driver to agree to be transported to the place of testing.
See North Carolina General Statute 20-19(c).
