NY Driver with NC Speeding Ticket

[NYDriver14]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York

I received a speeding ticket in North Carolina while visiting to attend a wedding. I was clocked at 59mph in a 35mph zone by radar. I was in a rental car, it was not a work or school zone, and I have a clean driving record.

The officer advised me that a court appearance was mandatory for my offense such as mine. I've checked pricing on several attorneys and fees have ranged from $275 to $450. I've also been told that an "Prayer for Judgement Continued" (PJC) would be an ideal outcome. How would my home state of NY respond to this outcome? Should I be sending a lawyer? Can I have a friend who lives local go with a Waiver of Appearance instead? What is my best course of action?

I'm new to traffic violations as I am usually a pretty safe driver. I was keeping with the flow of traffic and the kind officer just picked me.

Thanks in advance for your input.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

[You Are Guilty]

NY (DMV) won't care a lick about out of state convictions (if that's what your outcome is). A NY license is, in effect, a license to speed in the other 49 states

However, your insurance company on the other hand, they will probably not take too kindly to a speeding conviction, if they find out about it.

Good luck.

If you can do a waiver of appearance, pay the fine and go on.
