Under G.S. 20-16.2, drivers on Greene County roads agree to a breath or blood test when stopped for suspected impaired driving. Refusing a test results in a one-year license revocation.
A civil revocation under G.S. 20-16.5 takes effect right away when a driver fails or refuses the test. This is a separate action from the criminal DUI case filed in Greene County court. Sentencing for DWI follows G.S. 20-179. There are six levels of punishment. The judge weighs grossly aggravating, aggravating, and mitigating factors to set the level. Prior DWI convictions within seven years are the most serious factor.
Three or more DWI convictions in ten years bring a habitual impaired driving charge under G.S. 20-138.5. This is a Class F felony heard in Greene County Superior Court. After a conviction, some drivers can apply for a limited driving privilege under G.S. 20-19 to keep driving for work or other approved needs while their license is revoked.
