What is the name of your state? SC/NC/NY
Heres the story. I'm in the Navy, and I was stationed in Norfolk virginia. while there, i get transfered to a school in Charleston, SC. Before i can get there, though, i need my car, so i fly home to buffalo new york (where my licence is from) and drive it all the way down to charleston. things are smooth through til norfolk, where i picked up all of my belongings, and then carried on to sc. however, in Hertford, NC, home of insanely long straight highways, i get pulled over by a cop for a 72 in a 55. given, the whole time id been driving next to this black nissan murano, mostly just keeping pace with it, because it was moving more quickly than i was. the cop pops out, the murano slows to fifty five, i notice, slow down as well, he picks me out, and pulls me over. this is at 7:26 am, on sunday, january 15th, after i had been awake since friday, with maybe 4 hours of sleep. the cop pulls me over, tells me this, i say "oh," i tell him the charleston situation (its a nine hour drive up there, he gives me a 9 am court time), he doesnt seem to care. i ended up with a ticket for reckless driving, and a mandatory court appearance february 22nd, @ 9am.
could i ask for a continuance, as im not really able to take time away from school here? possibly a change of venue to somewhere that isnt 9 hours away? and if im going to get my licence suspended when i get there, how in the hell will i get home?
edit : the school i am in requires a top secret clearance, will this be an issue?
