Speeding/Wreckless Driving

[hannahbnanah]

What is the name of your state? North Carolina

Just recently I recieved a speeding ticket/wreckless driving ( going 90 in a 65 zone ), I got wreckless driving because it was 25 miles per hour over the speed limit. Unfortunately I am going to be unable to hire an attorney to represent me so it looks like i'll be representing myself. I am worried about losing my license and getting point on my license. I have researched Prayer for Judgement, have no idea how this works or if it would even be a good option for me. This is my first speeding ticket since I was 16 ( I am 21 ) and then I had hired an attorney to take care of it. This is all new to me and I really need some useful advice on what I should/could do to avoid the points and more importantly losing my license. All advice is welcome. Thank You!
