You can probably plea this one down to 9 over yourself and avoid the insurance increase. If this fails, ask for the PFJ or plead not guilty and come back with a lawyer. Search some of the other NC messages here for more info. A lawyer can do this with a high probability of sucess for a cost...

I wish you luck, wreckless can be a very serious charge (like DWI) in some areas, hate to see one bad night mess up someones life. I learned the hard way some time ago that whenever someone rushes up on me like that it is best to just stay cool and give them room to pass by at the next safe...

You probably realize this already but you really need to talk to a lawyer on this one, especially if you need to keep your cdl to maintain employment. I suspect a good lawyer could help significantly and you definately don't want to face the officers yourself in court.

What state?

No. Maybe she looked good, her record was better or she admitted her error and took acountability rather than blaming the officer. It's up to the Judge. You really need a lawyer up front for something that serious. Your insurance increase (if you can get any) would have more than payed...

It is usually best to have a lawyer represent you for a misdemeanor charge. I certainly would not rely on advise received on the internet for something this serious.

You probably do not want to bring up the part about your radar detector not going off to the Judge when you ask for the PFJ ;) Pay attention to lwpat, a conviction gets you a 90% insurance increase the next three years in addition to the suspension. If you can't plea it down to a less...

Do not rely on the insurance company or your companies lawyer. Please strongly consider getting your own attorney.

If you were all traveling the same relative speed, he can testify to this in court. so one reading would be enough. The PFJ is for insurance points only. If convicted your insurance will go up 90%. The officer did you guys a big favor, a conviction for 17 over you would be facing a 30 day...

It's 1 PFJ every three years per household, not policy. I don't know what defines a "household." This only affects insurance points and I do not know where it is tracked -- try calling the DMV to find out. Convictions show up on your driving record. In NC, you can request a copy on-line...

Probably not, the ticket can be ammended to correct errors. What were you driving?

Was he wearing his hat?

Sorry, I jumped to the conclusion that since NC would report a suspension back to VA where if convicted of speeding in excess of 20 mph over the limit or over 80 mph is statutory reckless driving. Would a conviction of more than 20 over out of state automatically become reckless when...

No, he can amend the ticket for minor errors.

How old are you? NC will suspend your licence to drive in NC if convicted of more than 15 over. VA will suspend it if convicted of more than 20 over so you are screwed either way. You may have other problems in NC if they learn you have been working resident in NC without getting an NC...

PJC is for reducing insurance points one minor infraction per house hold every three years. It's for people who ocassionaly make a mistake. You have some very serious problems -- the judge will probably take you off the road for a year or two with possible jail time and a huge fine. See a...

A Prayer for Judgement Continued is from none other than North Carolina. Crosses still burn regularly in the land where the war of agression against the south has never ended... Three Crosses Burn in One Night in Durham 5/26/05

kid -- you are risking a suspension of your licence and a major insurance increase, search the messages here. Short answer is go (with your parents if under 18) to a see a lawyer. sue - You are allowed one PJC per household every three years in NC. Since you have personal...

A PJC is at the discretion of the judge so it is hard to predict. Some judges may be less likely to allow one for someone your age. I would try asking for a reduction to a non-moving or speeding less than 10 first. If you can't get it, plead not guilty and come back with a lawyer. Again...

NC Points Looks like you would end up with two insurance points if convicted which is 45% increase in your insurance. You might be able to plea this one down yourself but lawyer has the best chance of acheiving your goals. Spend a morning in court watching what happens to get a better idea.
