Under North Carolina DWI law, what is required of a person convicted of DWI for the second time?
-
A.
Face permanent license revocation
-
B.
Complete a community service assignment
-
C.
Attend a driver improvement clinic
-
D.
Serve a jail sentence Correct
The answer is "Serve a jail sentence"
A second DWI conviction requires a jail sentence under North Carolina law. Choice C substitutes the Driver Improvement Clinic listed in the fee schedule because it reads like a lighter, non-custodial version of the same consequence.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Face permanent license revocation
The manual does not require permanent revocation on a second DWI. This answer escalates a one-time revocation into permanent status the manual does not name.
B. Complete a community service assignment
The manual names a jail sentence, not community service, for the second conviction. This answer reaches for a common alternative sanction rather than the printed statutory requirement.
C. Attend a driver improvement clinic
The Driver Improvement Clinic is a separate program, not the required consequence for a second DWI. This answer borrows the clinic listed in the fee schedule because it reads like a lighter version of a serious penalty.
