Legal Question in Traffic Law in North Carolina

I live in North Carolina and II got a speeding ticket yesterday. When I got home and read the ticket, I was, also, cited for no seat belt. I was wearing my belt, but undid it to get my license and registration out and available to show the trooper, before he got to the window. I had a passenger that will verify. Should I bring my passenger with me when I go to court, would a notarized letter be sufficient, or neither? How should I proceed? Thank you

You should hire an experienced traffic attorney - it's usually not that much! If the address on your license is correct, you will likely be getting a crap ton of solicitation letters from local traffic attorneys - just pick the cheapest one and go with that (you don't need F. Lee Bailey for a traffic ticket so spending more doesn't necessarily get you any better representation). Anywho, depending on how fast you were going and your prior driving record, normally speaking a traffic attorney can get your speeding ticket reduced to something that won't affect your license or insurance and usually the ADA will just dismiss the seat belt - all without you having to go to Court or Safe Driving School. Or you can waste your time rolling up into Court with your bad-self, standing / waiting in long lines with yer cute little notarized letters and witnesses that the ADA likely has zero interest in looking at or hearing from just to get offered a lame driving school course that ain't free and gets you the same or worse results as if you had just hired an attorney for around about the same cost or sometimes even less.
