Should I Fight My Speeding Ticket In North Carolina?
A speeding ticket is the most common reason for you to be stopped by law enforcement in North Carolina. This is always a stressful and frustrating experience. If you are stopped by law enforcement for speeding, it is important to remain calm and polite with the officer as he or she will make notes about the stop that can either or help or hurt you in court.
It is almost always advisable to fight or otherwise contest your speeding ticket in court. Speeding tickets less than 15 mph over the speed limit are generally charged as infractions; this means that they can simply be paid online. This is deceiving because the ticket appears to be offering an easy solution, but if the ticket is just paid off, you will, almost always, be subject to license and insurance points.
Misdemeanor Ticket Charges
Most tickets more than 15mph over the speed limit are charged as misdemeanors. These speeding tickets, if you are convicted, can result in license and insurance points, revocation of your driver’s license, and probation or even jail time if you charge with a high-speed offense.
If you are stopped for speeding more than 25mph over the speed limit, it is likely that you will also be charged with reckless driving, a class 2 misdemeanor which can also result in probation and four insurance points.
