Legal Question in Traffic Law in North Carolina

Re: College student receives first speeding ticket

if she has never had a ticket, then the reduction by the officer to 9 miles over the speed limit is a good result. If they charged her with speeding in excess of 10 miles per hour over the speed limit, then you have some reason for concern. As it stands, 9 miles over will cost her $110.00 (court costs plus a $10 fine). If she is on an insurance policy with other members of the family, then violations of family members need to be considered. You can always call your insurance company and advise them (not necessarily of the inital speed(21 MPH over), but of the 9 miles over and they should be able to confirm that this will have no impact on insurance since it is a waivable offense in North Carolina(again, other violations by other family members could change a lawyer's advice)
