A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE FOR NO INSURANCE POINTS FOR CONVICTION OF "SPEED NOT REASONABLE AND PRUDENT".
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 58-124.33(f) reads as rewritten:
"(f)	The subclassification plan shall provide that with respect to a conviction for a ‘violation of speeding 10 miles per hour or less over the speed limit' and a ‘violation of speeding while driving at a speed not reasonable and prudent' there shall be no premium surcharge nor any assessment of points unless there is a driving record consisting of a conviction or convictions for a moving traffic violation or violations, except for a prayer for judgment continued for any moving traffic violation, during the three years immediately preceding the date of application or the preparation of the renewal.  The subclassification plan shall also provide that with respect to a prayer for judgment continued for any moving traffic violation, there shall be no premium surcharge nor any assessment of points unless the vehicle owner, principal operator, or any licensed operator in the owner's household has a driving record consisting of a prayer or prayers for judgment continued for any moving traffic violation or violations during the three years immediately preceding the date of application or the preparation of the renewal.  For the purpose of this subsection, a ‘prayer for judgment continued' means a determination of guilt by a jury or a court though no sentence has been imposed.  For the purpose of this subsection, a ‘violation of speeding 10 miles per hour or less over the speed limit' and a ‘violation of speeding while driving at a speed not reasonable and prudent' does not include the offense of speeding in a school zone in excess of the posted school zone speed limit nor any offense of speeding in excess of 65 miles per hour."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification and shall apply to all citations issued on or after the ratification of this act.
