Revisions to N.C.G.S. § 20-179.3 represent a significant update to North Carolina’s Limited Driving Privilege laws, with potentially far-reaching implications.
In this post, we’ll discuss eligibility for an Ignition Interlock Limited Driving Privilege for certain Level 2 offenders, reinstatement requirements involving expanded use of ignition interlock devices (IID), mandatory reporting back IID noncompliance to NC DMV, and related consequences for violations.
These changes appear to reflect a nuanced approach to addressing impaired driving, acknowledging the need for both rehabilitation and accountability for those convicted of DUI in NC.
