IL driver 70 in 55 in NC - help

[johnp18222]

What is the name of your state? Illinois

My driver's license is from Illinois, while in North Carolina recently I got a 70 in a 55 speeding ticket. Now I've gotten scared about the potential severity of their automatic suspensions for 15+. What is my best bet here? If I pay will I only lose my ability to drive in North Carolina or will Illinois get me bad for this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think you need to be over 15 (71 in 55) for a suspension, NC DMV can say for sure.

A local attorney has a good chance to plea this to 9 under (or a non-moving if you are lucky). Check to see how much your insurance will increase if a conviction gets back to IL. Depending on your record, attorney fees will be in the $300 to $1,000 range.
