I have NY state plates/license/insurance/etc.
I was on vacation in NC when I accidentally ran a school bus stop sign. It was an awkward situation where the bus stopped opposite from me at a red-light and put out its sign as the light turned green. I didn't realize it in time and ran the stop sign. My court date for this is on Friday.
A couple weeks ago, I got a speeding ticket in MD (I go to school in Baltimore) for going 74 in a 65. My court date for this has not been set as I have to let the period first pass where I have the option of paying the ticket.
I've done some research on both cases, but I'm unsure of how they mix as they are two different states (both different from my own in fact). I have read about "prayer for judgment" in NC and I've read about "probation before judgment" in MD. My initial thought is to try and go for both these sentences, but will MD see my "prayer for judgment" and not grant me the "probation before judgment?" Will the speeding ticket in MD nullify the "prayer for judgment" in NC when I go to court?
It's all very confusing to me when you cross state borders. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
