NC Speeding Tickets For Visitors And New Residents
The State of NC has recently, as of this writing, surpassed other popular states to become the number 1 transplant state in the US. We have more visitors and people moving in than anywhere in the United States! Something I’ve noticed along with this phenomenon, is many more phone calls from clients pulled over across the state of NC. I serve over 40 Counties in NC, so whether you are traveling I-95 , I-85, or if you’re on I-40 crossing the center of the state, there’s a good chance I can cover you.
With so many new people receiving NC traffic tickets for the first time, many are finding out how strict our traffic courts and DMV rules are. You’re typically going to want to send an attorney to our traffic courts, as they are held in state criminal court, and follow the customs of US plea bargaining procedures. Knowing who to talk to in each county, and what to say is crucial. And you just cannot reasonably pay a traffic ticket in NC state courts, just don’t do it please!
When you pay tickets in NC, or negotiate the wrong deal on your own, you can end up suspended from 30 days to a full year! If you plan to stay here, our auto insurance is a bargain compared to many states, but not if you pay tickets. Our state is regulated such that safe drivers get a bargain, but once you pay a minor 15 over speeding, rates climb and remain high for up to 5 years, 25%-100% plus increases in insurance rates can occur, depending on the convictions.
