I live in North Carolina (north of Charlotte), have a NC license, and just got a notice of driving priviliege suspension in the mail, for a speeding ticket i got in Ohio back in November.
I was clocked around 80mph in a 65mph zone, on I-77.
The notice calls for a 6 months suspension!
This is my 1st ticket in NC, although i do have tickets on my previous OH license, when i lived there.
I live alone, and use the car everyday to go to work, plus i need to rent a car at least once or twice a month during business trips.
Is there any way i can avoid the suspension? I don't care much about insurance cost, court, or legal fees, but i just need to be able to drive.
The only issue i had in NC was being caught with out of state license and expired inspection 3 months after i moved, but all i had to do was going to court with the new license and documents, and the DA let me go with no fine and no problems. Will this issue prevent me to ask a PFJ?
Also, which court will my case be assigned to? Can i call the NCDMV myself to request a hearing, or should i talk to a lawyer 1st?
I'd like to retain a lawyer, but i would like to select an attorney that knows the court district i'll be assigned to?
Please help... i don't know what to do.
Thank you.
