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.
