Virginia License, North Carolina Speeding Ticket
You cannot do this for a NC speeding ticket with a VA license. Your cop friend is wrong. If you pay the ticket, they can suspend your right to drive in NC and this will be six points and a major insurance increase on your VA license. If you can go back to court without any problem, check to see when the ADA is in and go talk to him and try to get it reduced to at least an under 15mph ticket. You do not have to wait until your court date. If you cannot get back to NC, then you need to retain an attorney. This is usually around $300 plus or minus.
