| 5 | -Passing a stopped school bus |
| 4 |
-Reckless driving -Hit and run (misdemeanor - property damage only) -Illegal Passing -Following too closely -Driving on wrong side of the road |
| 3 |
-Driving with no license or a license expired for more than one year (NOL) -Stop light or stop sign violation -Speeding in excess of 55 mph -Failing to yield right of way -Failure to stop for siren -No liability insurance -Speeding in a school zone in excess of the posted school zone speed limit -Failure to report accident where such report is required -Driving through safety zone |

North Carolina DMV points are assessed only against convictions that occurred within the State of North Carolina. It is possible that out-of-state jurisdictions may assess points within their state (the licensing state) for convictions occurring in North Carolina under the Non-Resident Violator Compact.
