Can you receive points on your license for a speeding ticket?

Points can indeed be added to your driving record for speeding violations. In North Carolina, the point system is used to monitor and penalize drivers for traffic offenses, and speeding is one of the many violations that can lead to points being assessed. The number of points assigned varies depending on how much over the speed limit the driver was traveling. This is important as accumulating a certain number of points can result in increased insurance premiums and may lead to license suspension if the points exceed certain thresholds.

In contrast, the other options present some inaccuracies regarding the point system. The assertion that points are only for serious violations does not hold true, as even minor speeding violations can incur points. The claim that points are only given if the speed limit is exceeded by more than 15 mph is misleading, as violations can receive points even if the excess is less than that. Lastly, while commercial drivers have specific regulations and may face additional scrutiny, the basic point system for speeding applies to all drivers, not just those operating commercial vehicles.
