NORTH CAROLINA DRIVERS WITH TRAFFIC CITATIONS IN GEORGIA
North Carolina has the toughest laws in the United States regarding suspension of a driver’s license for various traffic convictions. North Carolina also applies these suspension laws to out of state tickets. North Carolina law GS 20-16 specifically provides that the NC DMV has the authority to suspend a driver’s license if:
(a) within a 12 month period, the licensee has been convicted of (i) 2 or more charges of speeding in excess of 55 mph, (ii) one or more charges of reckless driving and one or more charges of speeding in excess of 55 mph and (iii) one or more charges of aggressive driving and one or more charges of speeding in excess of 55 mph;
Sean McIlhinney (a NCSU 1991 graduate) and Ben Sessions have become the authority on how to handle a NC driver's speeding ticket so that it does NOT cause license suspension. They normally are able to do this so that the client does NOT have to appear in Court as well.
They have also successfully handled numerous cases where the NC driver receives notice of a pending license suspension from a Georgia speeding ticket that the NC driver paid not knowing that his or her NC license would be suspended. In these cases, Sean McIlhinney and Ben Sessions, file motions to reopen the Georgia case which caused license suspension citing specific Georgia law which gives the Judge a legal basis to vacate the guilty plea. Then, they work to renegotiate the case after it has been reopened to save the client’s driver’s license.
