Under North Carolina's driver license point system, what is the lowest number of points within three years that can lead DMV to suspend a license for the first time?
Correct answer: 12 points
Why
Points come from convictions: for example, 3 points for running a stop sign or a red light and 4 points for following too closely. A first suspension under the point system can last up to 60 days, and later ones last longer. Insurance companies use a separate point system that can raise your premium.
