Legal Question in Traffic Law in North Carolina

What should happen and what will happen are two different things. Presumably he drove after he knew his license was suspended. So what should happen is he should go to jail and never be allowed to drive again. However, if he hires an attorney, takes care of the two tickets like a responsible person would have done - he may have an opportunity to have the current DWLR charge resolved so that he has no further suspension and can get his license reinstated. If he doesn't do this and continues to ignore the tickets, he will most likely continue to drive and because he does things like runs stop signs, he'll get stopped again, accumulate additional charges of DWLR, become permanently revoked and at some point a judge will say enough of this and throw him into the pokey.

The best advice is to hire a lawyer who may be able to combine all outstanding tickets and pursue a strategy to resolve them in a manner in which (1) saves him money and (2) minimizes the negative impact to his driving record such that he may be able to qualify to regain his license after likely paying some court costs and fines. This really is not something he should pursue on his own.
