Hi everyone - a search of past posts gave me a bit of info on contesting speed tickets (including forms) in other states, but i'm interesting in info for NC. I just returned from holiday in Duck, North Carolina (yes that's in the outerbanks, host of the weather channel recently) with a souvenir ticket for going 52 in a 35. First ticket in six of seven years! I'd like information on how to plead not-guilty by mail. Details for those interested: I'm traveling north along 12 - the single north/south road in this part of the outerbanks just North of Duck. The speed limit cycles every hundred yards or so from a low of 25 mph up to 45 mph. I see the officer and glanced at the speedo - I'm going 45 and lifted of the accelerator not sure what the limit is at this point in the road. At about the same time as I passed him, he lights up his rack so I guessed that the speed limit here must not be 45! He's claiming that I was going 52 in 35. In hindsight, I have the feeling he was planning on giving me a warning but I was not happy about the difference between my actual speed and his 52 MPH estimate and probably wasn't as apologetic as I needed to be * Question : He was not facing me. I doubt he was kneeling on his seat aiming a radar gun at me through the back window. I think he was trying to tag people coming over a ridge in the opposite direction and then saw me coming and guessed my speed, I was speeding after all. He claims he got me with radar. Does this make sense? The day after the ticket I was annoyed, but accepted the fact that any judge is going to take the officers word over mine, etc... And with Isabel coming, I had more to think about... BUT I also then observed that the speed limit sign just north of the speedtrap was obscured by bushes so I want to fight this. FYI - The ticket is just $50, the court costs are $100? Also, does anyone know if NC points get reported to New York
