An Incomplete List


I was bored one day and decided to look at all the ways that a person's drivers license could be revoked in the state of North Carolina.  Obviously, Driving While Impaired (DWI) and its related offenses qualifies.  But is it fair to take away a person's ability to drive for the rest?

As an attorney in rural area with little to no public transportation
 I think not.

Please share your thoughts.
