CHAPTER 101
HOUSE BILL 300

AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THERE SHALL BE NO INSURANCE POINTS ASSESSED FOR SPEEDING TEN MILES OR LESS OVER THE SPEED LIMIT FOR FIRST OFFENSE IN THREE YEARS WHERE SPEED LIMIT EXCEEDS FIFTY-FIVE MILES PER HOUR.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 58-36-75(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' 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' does not include the offense of speeding in a school zone in excess of the posted school zone speed limit."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective January 1, 1992 and applies to offenses occurring on or after that date.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 22nd day of May, 1991.
