HOW TO READ A MVR
What is a MVR? MVR stands for Motor Vehicle Report. This
report contains information regarding personal information, issuances
made by the Division, convictions, points from convictions, suspensions,
and accidents. The primary key to reading a motor vehicle report is to
understand the sequence of events of a driver’s history that is recorded
and maintained by the Division.

* Substance Abuse Assessment Indicator
When a person has been convicted of an implied-consent offense and the statutory suspension period has
ended BUT the person has not completed the required Substance Abuse Assessment and the
recommended Education/Treatment required by the conviction, the suspension is indefinitely extended
until such time as the requirement has been met. An outstanding requirement is notated on an MVR by an
* remaining on the record.
§20-17.6(c) Certificate of Completion. – To obtain a certificate of completion, a person must have a
substance abuse assessment and, depending on the results of the assessment, must complete either
an alcohol and drug education traffic (ADET) school or a substance abuse treatment program. The
substance abuse assessment must be conducted by one of the entities authorized by the
Department of Health and Human Services to conduct assessments. G.S. 122C-142.1 describes the
procedure for obtaining a certificate of completion.
The entry on an MVR below shows a one-year driving while impaired suspension that was indefinitely extended as a
result of a SAA & T/E not having been received.

How Do Records Build?
Why Do Convictions Show Up More Than Once?
G.S. 20-138.1 (DWI) (G.S. 20-19d and 20-19e)
A second DWI offense will be considered as a 2
nd
offense (suspension) if the offense date is within three
(3) years of the first offense date. If the two offense dates are not within three (3) years you will receive
two (2) 1
st
offense of DWI suspensions on the record.
A permanent DWI suspension (3 offenses of DWI suspension) will be considered if they have three (3)
convictions (look at the conviction dates) that are within ten (10) years of each other and the most
recent
two (2) offenses (look at the offense date) are within five (5) years of each other.
In the example below, the customer was charged with DWI on January 21, 2012 and again on
November 26, 2013. The customer went to court for both charges on July 7, 2014. When the first
conviction was applied to the record, it created a suspension for one offense of driving while
impaired. When the second conviction
was applied to the record, it combined with the first offense
to create a suspension for two offenses of driving while impaired. The suspension for two offenses
of driving while impaired shows the two convictions that have been cross-referenced to build that
suspension. You may note that the offense dates are within 3 years of each other, causing the 4-
year suspension. In this case, the customer has not completed the SAA & T/E required for either
conviction, so the suspensions have been indefinitely extended.
Since DWIs are also considered Moving Violation Suspensions, the DWI conviction may also be
listed as a cross-referenced conviction that would build a Moving Violation suspension

28 (DWLR)
DWLR suspensions are built by conviction date
Any convictions for offenses occurring prior to 12/01/2015 of DWLR
occurring within a ten (10) year period will be built by
conviction.
Example: DWLR conviction 10/20/05 and DWLR conviction 08/20/07 will be built as a sec
ond offense of DWLR suspension.
If the second conviction is outside of ten years you will receive two (2) 1
st
DWLR suspensions on the record.
Example: DWLR conviction 10/20/05, DWLR conviction 08/20/07 and DWLR conviction 01/20/15 will be built as a
permanent DWLR suspension. Each additional conviction occurring after the perm and within ten (10) years of the two
prior will be built as permanent suspensions.
HB 529- DWLR offenses on or after 12/01/2015 by conviction date
Convictions of DWLR occurring within a ten (10) year period may adjudicate a suspension. Follow the below criteria to
determine if a DWLR conviction should adjudicate a suspension.
When did the offense occur?
• If the offense was prior to 12/01/2015 the conviction of the DWLR will adjudicate a suspension. (conviction code
606)
• If the offense was on or after 12/01/2015, and the court convicted them under 20-28(a1), the DWLR will cause a
suspension. (Conviction code 673)
• If the offense was on or after 12/01/15 and the court convicted them under 20-28(a) it will not adjudicate a
suspension and will only assess points to the record. (Conviction code 663)
DRIVING WHILE LICENSE REVOKED
The below reflects two types of Driving While License Revoked convictions and the resulting suspensions. The last entry is
a driving while license revoked – no action conviction that just assesses points to a driving record. It does not cause a
suspension.

(MOVING
VIOLATIONS
)
Moving violation suspensions are built by conviction date
Any moving violation convictions with offense dates occurring prior to 12/01/2015 within a ten (10) year period will be
built by conviction.
Example: Moving violation conviction
10/20/05 and Moving violation conviction 08/20/07 will be built as a second offense
of Moving violation suspension. If the second conviction is outside of ten years you will receive two (2) 1
st
moving
violation suspensions on the record.
Example: Moving violation conviction 10/20/05, Moving violation conviction 08/20/07 and Moving violation conviction
01/20/15 will be built as a permanent Moving violation suspension. Each additional conviction occurring after the perm
and within ten (10) years of the two prior will be built as permanent suspensions.
HB529- Moving Violation offense occurring on or after 12/01/2015 by conviction date
Moving violation convictions occurring within a ten (10) year period may adjudicate suspensions. Follow the below
criteria to determine if a moving violation should have adjudicated a suspension.
When did the offense occur?
• If the moving violation offense was prior to 12/01/2015, the conviction will adjudicate moving violation
suspensions.
• If the moving violation offense was
on or after 12/01/15 and the person was not operating a CMV or a CDL holder
at the time of the offense, and NOL and DWLR will not adjudicated moving violation suspensions. A
ll other moving
violations will still adjudicate moving violation suspensions (e.g. speeding, reckless, DWI, etc.)
• If the moving violation offense was on or after 12/01/15 and the offense was an NOL or DWLR and the person
was operating a CMV or a CDL holder at the time of the offense the NOL and/or DWLR will adjudicate a moving
violation suspension.
G.S. 20-16 (Points)
Points accumulate by offense date; 12 points accumulated within a three (3) year period will cause a point accumulation
suspension. If a person has had a previous qualifying suspension, they will be on the 8 point scale (for three years after
completing their suspension), if they accumulate 8 points within three years they will have point accumulation
suspension.
G.S. 20-16(a)(9) Two conviction of speeding over 55mph within 12 months
Two speeding convictions within 12 months go by conviction date
The two convictions must be within 12months of one another to cause a suspension.
Prayer For Judgment (PJC)
Prayer For Judgment go by conviction date
A person who is not a CDL driver and/or in a Commercial Motor Vehicle is permitted two (2) Prayer For Judgment’s (PJC’s)
within a five (5) year period. If a person receives more than the two (2) PJC’s within five years the third and any
subsequent PJC will be considered on the record as a conviction. They will be subject to any points and/or suspensions
accruing from the conviction.
CDL/CMV are not permitted by statute to be granted PJC’s
