[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi op. A year ago I got pulled over in North Carolina for a very similar speeding ticket. I think I was going 81 when I should have been going 65 or 70. I had to show up for court in the small town in NC where I got pulled over. They reduced the speed on my ticket and I had to pay a fine and court costs. It ended up being $200-$300. It was my first ticket ever and I was pretty upset. Major inconvenience too, bc like you, the place I had to go for court was like 4 hours away from my house. I didn't get a lawyer, and I went in hoping they'd drop it since I'd never had a single ticket or anything like that in my life, but nope. I had to pay. I also got a crapload of letters from lawyers, but I threw them all in the fire when I went camping that summer. I also felt it was some kind of racket and no way in hell am I paying a lawyer to take care of it for me.

Lesson learned for me though, while I never have been one to speed or run through red lights, I'm a lot less distracted, and a lot more careful these days. Especially when I'm out of state! Good luck op, and big hugs![/quote]

A very similar thing happened to me in Delaware. I was coming back from the beach, all tired and dying to get back home, and went 46 miles in 25 limit. I didn't even see the cop after me, until another one cut me of. I was sober too ;) Anyway, I went to the court, no lawyer, talked with the cop before the hearing, and he reduced the overage. I ended up paying a ticket and court costs. Stressful it was, I must admit.

Good luck. [/quote]
