So where in the state of NC is it legal to go 82 MPH? I don't think the speed limit matters.

yeah it was in Currituck/Moyock. i"m going down on the 17th to talk to the DA. when i was at the court house i was told the 1st and 3rd Friday every month you can go talk to the DA, and try to get them to lower it or dismiss it. i doubt it will happen though, because i definitely shouldn't have been speeding. but its worth a shot.. . but i was between 2 cars, all 3 of us got pulled by one state trooper and he let the one in front of me go right away which i thought was bullshit...but anyways, shit happens, life's a bitch, and then you die.

Just get a lawyer. It's part of the Keep Attorneys Employed Act. You get better deals if your lawyer is the one doing it. I don't know any out in that part of NC, but I think in Currituck County the standard deal is going to be 14 over the limit for an 82 in a 55. Keep in mind that NC has the PJC system. If you've got one available you can use it after it's been pled down (can't use a PJC for 82 in a 55 so it has to be pled down first).

By the way, DO NOT JUST PLEAD GUILTY and take your lumps. Not an auto-reckless but it IS an AUTO-SUSPENSION and a class 2 misdemeanor, so it might as well be a reckless (the only difference is the length of the suspension).

Kitty Hawk cops are worse than Va Beach cops. I got pulled 3 times in a 2 week period down there for pretty much NOTHING. They made up bullshit as to why they pulled me over and ever tried to give me a little in car sobriety test..

Yea, they call it "Administrative Session" and if you can't make it to that, there's no "talking to the DA before court on your day". They're usually pretty cool with things though. I've had 2 70/55 tickets in Currituck and they always drop them down to a lesser speed. I guess if you're lucky they'll lower it more.

That's some BS there....I had a state trooper pull me in nags head because my license plate light was out and he tried to check my tint with his business card. When I got my car inspected at seto's they made me pull my tint off, at the time I couldn't find anyone to pass me.
