Driver Improvement Clinics

​​​​​​​​​Drivers may request to attend a driver improvement clinic if they accumulate four points (on the eight-point scale) or seven points (on the 12-point scale) on their driving record.

To receive point credit, an individual must qualify and have a conference with an administrative hearings officer.

Drivers can attend driving improvement clinics once every five years.

Upon satisfactory completion, three points are deducted from the driving record. ​

Eligibility Hearings

The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles sends a letter to any individual who might qualify for a driver improvement clinic. Upon notification, they must apply for a hearing and pay the associated fee. NCDMV will then assign a hearing date.
