SPEEDINGTICKET.LAW → BARKER RICHARDSON, PLLC →WHAT IS A PJC?
- Prayer for Judgment Continued = judgment is "continued" indefinitely — no conviction entered
- No conviction means no insurance points and no DMV driver's license points (typically)
- The court retains jurisdiction — it can impose judgment later if you reoffend
- Only available for certain offenses — serious charges (DWI, reckless) are excluded
- Referenced under G.S. 15A-101 and long-standing NC common law

THE 3-YEAR HOUSEHOLD RULE
