I had a 73 in a 55 in wake county. The lawyer letters came in about a week. I went to court. Waited in the check in line for 30 min. Then I waited in the DA line for 20 min. The DA said "Would you like a reduction?" I said Yes. She wrote 64 /55 on my paper work and handed it to the cashier. $100 court costs and $10 fine and I was out the door. BTW they only accept cash or money orders. 9 over should net me no insurance increase. I did not want a 18 over hovering over me with a PJC.
George is dead on. I have been to court, in my younger days, more times than I care to remember. No wreckless drivings or DUI's, just plain old 10+ mph over speeding tickets. I got out of 12 of them by having them reduced to 9 mph. This is over a 15 year span. Go to court, bring your ticket and enough cash to cover court costs and a small fine. Talk to the DA. If you haven't had a ticket in quite some time, it's 99% automatic. They just want the revenue from the court costs.
As for 9 mph over, as long as you only have 1 in a 3 year period, the insurance companies won't raise your rates.
Knock on wood, I have a clean record
