It was for speeding 68 in a 55.... ......any tips for me? thinking of a plea for a lesser charge? words of wisdom would be appreciated!!

Thanks

 

the DA should just knock it down to 9 over.
in Raleigh, you basically stand in a DMV type line and go by a kiosk desk. they offer you a plea or a scheduled court time.
take 9 over. they might also give you PJC, just make sure you dont get another ticket

 

TAKE THE PLEA! i know things may be diff in NC, but ive got friends on all sides of law enforcement down here in SC (state, city, county) and there is NO WAY to fight it. If they say they clocked you at XXmph and you have no evidence to prove otherwise, its their word against yours, and they ALWAYS win. If they say do you plead guilty, say yes, and theyll more than likely knock your fine down.

what was the fine on the ticket if you dont mind me asking?

 

the penalty was $30 and the court cost is $130..That's not gonna hurt me I am more worried about insurance!

 

If you can negotiate it down to a 9 over it will not affect your insurance. Otherwise if you currently have a clean record and you can't get the 9 over ask for a PJC. Then just don't get caught speeding for the next 3 years.

Edit: This is assuming you are in NC. I have no idea for SC.

 

Good advice has been given here...

Let us know how it goes.

I'll also be in court next week for my accident with the Insight. I got cited for "Failure to maintain lane control." Much better than "Careless and Wreckless."

I ordered my driving record from the DMV and I have it ready to show to the DA on my court date. We hope that they'll dismiss the charge.

 

techinally check with your insurance 1 9 under is ok 2 under 9 they will start charging. and look at the ticket to see if it was r or p. r means he got you on radar. p means he followed u at speeds, you can get a lawyer to get it dropped or really reduced. i think there is an a too for aproximate its on your ticket. this one wont hold up in court and the da usually drops it

 

I'll find out tomorrow......does anyone happen to know how to pay? is it cash or money order?

 

I am also currently dealing with 80 in 65...I really was going 90 or so whatever top of 3rd is....BTW where would it say "p" "r" or "a" on the ticket? Anyone had any past experience in MECK county?

 

I take that back just reading my ticket and I have 3 more weeks till court...ha but still thanks for the advice people!
