About 2 years ago my wife was driving in TN and got stopped for 15 over. She paid the ticket and thought that was the end of it. 18 months later she received a letter from the NC DMV. They said that she was to surrender her license for 30 days because of the ticket in TN. Since a license in NC is the property of the state of NC, that it is a privilege not a right to have a drivers license, and she abused it, that they have the right to suspend it for 30 days. They said she could contest the suspension, but if she lost, they would suspend the license for 60 days. The law say the law in NC says anything 15 or more over the limit can result in suspension of of license for up to a year NO MATTER WHAT STATE ISSUES THE TICKET. When she asked why they were doing this 18 months after the fact, THEY SAID THEY HAD BEEN BUSY!
