In Maryland it's different. Here's an excerpt from a recent case that discusses it:


I can't speak to NC, but you may be correct about the laws down there.

Well then tell that to my buddy who got a DUI on his bike in Va Beach. He had a lawyer and still was convected. He lost his lic and had attend ASAP. Now the under .08 I guess I was wrong about that but I would think that its very rare and a person would have to be acting very drunk.
