My experience with North Carolina is that they do not plea bargain speeding tickets when you are going over 90 miles per hour.

I have had this happen to me before and was able to contact the State's Attorney in the county that it happened in and deal with them that way to get supervision. If you live within driving distance you might be required to show up in person but I would try to get the States Atty involved first in that county. Worked for me and I got three tickets dismissed that way - all by fax and emails. Speeding, expired plates and insurance card that I didnt have with me but I DID have insurance.

Good luck !

Do not mail the ticket in!

If you need to get it reduced to less than 15 over in SC to prevent your NC licence from being suspended.

See an attorney (in SC) if you can't do this on your own.

Robbie is correct, you will be in big trouble if you just pay the ticket. An attorney in SC usually runs around 500 and he needs to get it reduced to a 9 over in order for it not to result in an insurance increase. The premium increase is for three years so the 500 is money well spent.
