Mitigating factors are those that will help your case if you are convicted of DWI. A judge will look at these—along with any aggravating and grossly aggravating factors—when determining your sentencing level. The more mitigating factors present, the better your chance of a more lenient sentence.
Mitigating factors in North Carolina include:
Having a safe driving record
Showing signs of slight impairment if a BAC test was unavailable
Having a BAC less than .09
If your impairment was due to the proper dosage of a legal medication
Driving lawfully other than the impairment
Submitting voluntarily to a drug and alcohol assessment
