Mecklenburg County Citation

The good news is that the Mecklenburg County District Attorney and Judges recognize the Council’s 4-hour Defensive Driving Course as an alternative to traditional prosecution for eligible traffic infractions. Choosing to complete one four-hour course could be in your best interest to:

• Avoid Insurance Points and a Premium Increase
• Avoid Court Appearance
• Avoid Points on your North Carolina Driver’s License

To receive these benefits, you must meet all requirements as described on the Safe Driving Program Leaflet. The most common eligible violations for this program are:

• SPEEDING in 40mph zone or more (up to 15mph over limit)

              Example: 70mph in 55mph zone

• SPEEDING in 35mph zone or less (up to 20mph over limit)

              Example: 55mph in 35mph zone

• SPEEDING in a School Zone
• Stop Sign or Red Light Violation
• Improper Turn
