Common questions

Speeding tickets in North Carolina

  • How many points is a speeding ticket in NC?

    Most speeding convictions add 3–4 license points. Enough points can lead to a suspension, and insurance surcharges often cost far more than fines.

  • Can I use a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC)?

    A PJC may help in limited situations, but eligibility depends on your history and household usage. We advise on when it helps and when another strategy is better.

  • Will I have to go to court if I hire a lawyer?

    In many cases we can appear for you, saving time and travel, especially for out-of-county drivers.

  • Can a speeding ticket be reduced to improper equipment?

    Often yes, depending on your record and the facts. That outcome avoids license points and usually prevents insurance increases.
