N.C.P.I.—Crim. 271.22
[DRIVING] [KNOWINGLY PERMITTING ANOTHER TO DRIVE] A VEHICLE THAT [WAS NOT REGISTERED WITH THE DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES] [DID NOT DISPLAY A CURRENT REGISTRATION PLATE]. INFRACTION.
The defendant has been charged with [driving a vehicle on a highway]
[knowingly permitting another to drive a vehicle owned by the defendant on
a highway] that [was not registered with the Division of Motor Vehicles] [did
not display a current registration plate].
For you to find the defendant responsible of this offense, the State
must prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [drove a vehicle on a highway] [knowingly
permitted a vehicle owned by the defendant to be driven on a highway].
And Second, that the vehicle [was not registered with the Division of
Motor Vehicles] [did not display a current registration plate].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant [drove a vehicle on a highway]
[knowingly permitted a vehicle owned by the defendant to be driven on a
highway] and that the vehicle [was not registered with the Division of Motor
Vehicles] [did not display a current registration plate], it would be your duty
to return a verdict of responsible. If you do not so find or have a reasonable
doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be your duty to return a
verdict of not responsible.
