I received a speeding ticket over the weekend in Charlotte, just as I crossed the SC/NC border (where the speed limit drops). I was in a line of cars all going the same speed, and was lucky enough to be plucked out. The trooper gave me a ticket which requires a mandatory court appearance since I was going at least 15 miles over the speed limit.

My question is... how likely is it that the DA will over a reduction? I have done some research on fighting a ticket in court using the evidence of non-calibrated radar guns, but the last thing I want to do is go in there and piss off the DA or judge. Should I just plead guilty and hope for a reduction?

Would a Prayer for Judgement be wise if I don't receive a reduction?

Also, does anyone know if the court date on my ticket is my actual court date, or will I be assigned another court date when I arrive? Not sure how NC courts work. I live a good three hours from Charlotte and I am dreading having to go back and forth.

Thanks in advance.
