Speeding Ticket in Wake County
I got a speeding ticket on 1/12/05 for 60 in 45 on Capital Blvd. The court date is 2/24/05.
I have 2 prior occurrences in the past 3 years.
1) Occurrence 05/12/04 Conviction 06/23/04 Speeding (40 in a 35) 2 points
2) Occurrence 01/27/03 Conviction 02/27/02 Speeding (54 in a 45) PJC
Do I have any options on how to handle this ticket? I have been told by some people that a lawyer can ''do away with the ticket''.
I was recently dropped by my insurance company and had to go shopping for insurance due to having too many occurrences on my policy within the past 3 years.
The PJC that I currently have will expire on 2/27/05...is there anyway to get the court date on this citation delayed until after that date and then request another PJC???

Assuming there are no other PJC's or tickets on others in your household(kids, spouse, etc.), then, yes, get your court date continued and then you will be able to request another PJC.
