I received a ticket for going 65 in a 45 in NC. I have never had a speeding ticket before. I would like to get this down to a 9 over instead of a pjc. Who knows if I will be in NC all my life and I don't want it coming back to haunt me if I move to another state. I would like to try pleading it down myself first. Can I do this before my court date? Would I talk to the clerk of courts or ADA or who? I would like to do it before my court date in case I am unsuccessful and could then get a lawyer to do it. Thanks!
