Question for all you NC drivers I was hauling *** last night up 77 north of Charlotte on my way home at exit 18. Well I was clocked 88 in a 55 by LaSalle St...oooops. I asked the trooper if he knew what the fine I would have to pay was and he didn't. He said it will be up to the judge. Back in Jersey if you were say 1-9 over the limit it was say a $50.00 fine and if you were like 10-19 over it was a $100.00 one.
Anyone know what I'll be shelling out?
Also my friend said he was supposed to offer me a drivers rd class which then would make it that I wouldnt have to go court? Any dice in this or cause I was doing 33 I don't get this? Also in Jersey if the cop doesn't show up to court the thing is thrown out, no questions asked this the same down here? Will I get to speak with a public deffender before my court hearing, to plead down and out or should I just admit guilt?
The cop was really nice and was asking me about my car and how fast I've had it up to and what I've done to it. We must of talked for 5 min after he gave me the ticket. HA.
If ya got any info pass it on. I got a clean record, first ticket ever so this just pisses me off for being stupid.
On a side note....these cars pull hard in 6th gear

In NC you have to go to court and ask for driving school unless you got a lawyer that will ask for ya.2nd offense get a lawyer and he will get the ticket reduced to 9 over.Thrid offence ask for a plc drops everything but if you get caught again within like a year both offenses will come back on ya... Anyway do drivin school this time probly around $150 $200....

Get George Laughren or Andrew Murrary I can bet they can get you out all together. You say it was a state guy that got ya? Wonder if it was my bud Willie Emmons. He's a cool *** guy and owns a Z28 himself.

Nah I'm not gonna waste my time on a lawyer, doesn't seem worth it since my record is clean and clear. Maybe next time round I'll deal with that can of worms.

Yup like I said use one of the guys I mentioned above. They will take care of you. I've used both of them at least 6 times and never had a bad experience. Good luck and let us know how it turns out
