Fighting a Traffic Ticket in NC

Imagine you are driving down the highway going 85 mph in a 70 mph speed zone. You’re driving without registration because you forgot to renew it at the beginning of last month. A North Carolina police officer pulls you over and issues you a citation for going 15 mph over the speed limit and driving without registration. Receiving this traffic citation, it may seem more convenient to pay for the citation so you can avoid going to court and put the traffic ticket behind you. This may be a mistake because paying a traffic ticket is an admission of guilt, which means you have violated the traffic rules and regulations, which can come with penalties including points on your license. This can increase the cost of your insurance and in some cases even lead to getting your license revoked.
