Good it worked out OK, what county? Be sure to check your record in a couple of months to be sure it is correct.

What state? If NC, you will probably need an attorney to have a chance to avoid points.

An attorney plea down to a 9 over is probably worst case which will result in no insurance points if you've had no tickets the past 3 years. Save the PJC if possible. Getting it reduced to a non-moving or dropped if the officer does not show is best case (unlikely).

Hopefully a lawyer can get this adjusted to just a fine for you. The consequences in the US sound about the same as in the UK though it varies from state to state.

No worries Mattyb, a lawyer can help. Supplying a certified copy of your UK driving record might be useful so you might want to get that in progress. Do not use any of the rationalization in your post, especially the part about driving 100 mph while being tired after an international...

You may have problems renting a car in the US again if convicted. Retaining an attorney will provide the best chance to minimize the damage. I'm not familiar with AZ but a 100 MPH charge difficult to mitigate given the speed.

I know. I was curious if the OP would ever come back :dgrin

That's a gamble I wouldn't bet on. A conviction is highly likely to work it's way back to you eventually. You need to do what ever it takes to mitigate the conviction in SC down to something you can tolerate. If convicted in SC, do the same in NC when it transfers. (It will be very expensive...

You need to go to court or hire an attorney to tell your side of the story, or pay the fine. A PJC is for NC only. A conviction will result in four insurance points and a 90% increase in your insurance the next three years when reported back to NC...

A conviction for 80+ or more than 15 over may result in suspension of your license. A lawyer has the best chance to minimize the risk. You can try to plea it down yourself first (to >9 over or a PJC) and if unsuccessful, plea not guilty and come back with legal help.

What state?

NC will assess based on you conviction. A speeding conviction greater than 15 over will result in a suspension of your license when reported back to NC.

Only one PJC is available for each household every three years for the avoidance of SDIP points. A second or greater PJC may result in SDIP points being assessed for the underlying convictions. http://www.nclamp.gov/2004%20CLE/TrafficLaws.PDF Since this is for more than 15 over, you are...

I agree with guch, you probably want to get an attorney to plead it down. A conviction reported back to NC will earn you four insurance points which is a 90% increase in your insurance for 3 years. 4 Points -- Speeding in excess of 75 miles per hour (mph) when posted limit is less that 70...

Only convictions count for insurance purposes. You or a lawyer may be able to plead it to a non-moving violation. If the officer truly cut you a break (gave you a ticket for 9 over when you were going faster) Iit may not be wise to fight this one. The officer can revise the ticket. You...
