Practice question

What is the automatic revocation period of an individual’s driver’s license when arrested for an implied consent offense?

  1. 15 days
  2. 30 days
  3. 60 days
  4. 90 days

Answer: B — 30 days

The automatic revocation period of an individual's driver's license following an arrest for an implied consent offense in North Carolina is 30 days. This occurs when a driver either refuses to submit to a chemical test or fails the test, indicating an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or greater. During this 30-day period, the individual has an opportunity to request a hearing to contest the revocation. This automatic revocation is part of the state's efforts to deter impaired driving and ensure public safety. The specific time frame is explicitly outlined in North Carolina's motor vehicle laws, reinforcing the seriousness of implied consent laws and the consequences of non-compliance. Thus, selecting 30 days provides the correct information regarding the driver's license revocation period for an implied consent offense.
