You can plead "Not Guilty", "Guilty", or "No Contest".dmullis32 said:Help me, im 17 and i got a ticket for doing 68 in a 35 in north carolina....what type of options do i have,
Take your pick.
Sure, there's always a chance. It never hurts to ask.is there a chance i could get it lowered by the DA to aviod insurence points?
First of all you need to tell your parents. They are going to find out anyway and you cannot appear in court by yourself.
You will soon be receiving a lot of letters from attorneys offering to represent you. Pick one or try the find an attorney link on this site. It will be cheaper in the long run. You will be very lucky to come away without a suspension.

She doesn't have to tell her parents if she has her own insurance.
If she is insured under her parents they will only find out if she gets points.
I suggest that you need to know what you are doing before you try to correct someone else. She is seventeen and a minor with a mandatory court appearance. Either one of her parents or an attorney will have to be in court. I don't know of an attorney who would agree to represent a minor without their parents knowledge but it might happen.She doesn't have to tell her parents if she has her own insurance.
How many seventeen year olds do you know that have their own insurance?
I know plenty of 17 yr olds that had their own insurance.lwpat said:I suggest that you need to know what you are doing before you try to correct someone else.

When I was 17 I had my own car and my own insurance.
I recieved 2 tickets both mandatory court apperances.
I didn't tell my parents.
I went to court talked to the DA and had one ticket dismissed.
Just because your a minor does not mean you can't go to court by yourself. You just have to be responsible and know what you are doing.

It's unlikely a lawyer can get it reduced to a 9 over but they would have the best chance.dmullis32 said:but has anyone ever heard of the DA lowering it to as much at 9 over without having to see the judge?
You are risking a 2-3X increase in your insurance, a supension and a misdemeanor conviction that could risk you future educational and work opportunities. You really need a lawyer to at least get it reduced to less than 55.
