A question for the legal minded - How does a moped operator ( who has no drivers license whether revoked or never had one) have his or her driving record monitored ? Since a moped operator can be ticketed for anything a licensed operator can be ticketed for, it makes me wonder. Licensed operators accrue points on their license and insurance ( until they lose their license ) but without a drivers license how does a moped'r have a deterrence applied to their bad behavior outside a court cost and ( example.. speeding ) ticket ? Theoretically can they run a 100 stop lights a year, get 50 speeding tickets a month etc... if they can afford to do so and keep in driving ? I know a DWI will ( should ) send them to jail but I'm talking about less serious infractions. Lets say they pass a stopped school bus. 12 points for you and I but what about them, can they do that and another one and another and keep on buzzing around school busses ? We know that NC doesn't care too much about safety by allowing revoked licensed drivers on our roads and kids who have never opened a drivers manual to ride in front of our children's school busses and maybe a gasoline tanker here and there, but what about keeping up with their bad behavior that got them on a moped to begin with ? Are their driving infractions monitored and do they get their moped taken away from them they've been bad ? How does that work out ?

I am so against anyone being able to drive a motorized vehicle on public rds without having a valid driver's license or not having to pay the fees, etc that others have to pay to drive on those rds. And do not even get me started on bicycles. I have always though the moped industry must have had rich lobbyists to get some idiot legislators to not make those vehicles responsible like other vehicles. Ask ur police dept or sheriffs office, an attorney, or call a dept in Raleigh, etc."
