Suspensión de licencia por falta de pago de juicio en Carolina del Norte

Explicación Simple

Si alguien pierde un juicio y no paga durante 60 días, puede perder su licencia de conducir. Pero si su seguro dejó de funcionar antes de que pagara, entonces no le pueden quitar la licencia.

Es como si te prestan un libro y, al devolverlo, te dicen que tienes que pagar una multa. Si el lugar donde lo tomaste prestado cerró antes de que pudieras pagar, no debes preocuparte por la multa.

Ejemplo Práctico

Juan tuvo un accidente de auto y no pudo pagar el juicio que se dictó en su contra. Pasaron 60 días y su licencia fue suspendida. Sin embargo, su compañía de seguros cerró antes de que pudiera hacer el pago, así que Juan no perdió su licencia gracias a esta ley.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

§ 20-279.13. Suspension for nonpayment of judgment; exceptions. (a) The Commissioner, upon the receipt of a certified copy of a judgment, which has remained unsatisfied for a period of 60 days, shall forthwith suspend the license and any nonresident's operating privilege of any person against whom such judgment was rendered, except as hereinafter otherwise provided in this section and in G.S. 20-279.16. (b) The Commissioner shall not, however, revoke or suspend the license of an owner or driver if the insurance carried by him was in a company which was authorized to transact business in this State and which subsequent to an accident involving the owner or operator and prior to settlement of the claim therefor went into liquidation, so that the owner or driver is thereby unable to satisfy the judgment arising out of the accident. (c) If the judgment creditor consents in writing, in such form as the Commissioner may prescribe, that the judgment debtor be allowed license or nonresident's operating privilege, the same may be allowed by the Commissioner, in his discretion, for six months from the date of such consent and thereafter until such consent is revoked in writing notwithstanding default in the payment of such judgment, or of any installments thereof prescribed in G.S. 20-279.16.
