In North Carolina, the statute of limitations for driving while license revoked (DWLR) is generally two years from the date of the offense. This timeframe applies to misdemeanor charges, which is how DWLR is classified in the state. However, if the DWLR is related to a felony charge, the statute of limitations may differ. Always consult a legal professional for the most accurate and relevant advice.

The limitations on a charge of driving while license revoked (DWLR) can vary by jurisdiction but typically include factors such as the length of the revocation period, whether the individual has a history of similar offenses, and the circumstances surrounding the revocation (e.g., unpaid fines or a DUI conviction). Additionally, some jurisdictions may allow for hardship licenses that permit limited driving privileges under specific conditions. The penalties for DWLR can range from fines to jail time, depending on the severity of the offense and the individual's driving history.
DWLR NOT IMPAIRED REV stands for "Driving While License Revoked Not Impaired." It indicates a legal charge where an individual is operating a vehicle without a valid driver's license that has been revoked, but there is no evidence of impairment from drugs or alcohol at the time of the offense. This charge typically involves issues related to licensing rather than driving under the influence.
If the DA dismissed your husband's DWLR citation, it typically means the case is resolved in his favor. However, receiving a new trial date from the clerk of court may indicate that the case has been reinstated or there are additional proceedings. It’s important to review any documentation carefully and consult with a lawyer for guidance on how to proceed. They can provide clarity on the situation and help ensure your husband's rights are protected.
