Matthews NC speeding ticket

speed limit sign
If you have a Matthews, North Carolina speeding ticket you need to know the local rules for obtaining a reduction. Generally speaking the best reduction option is an Improper Equipment (IE), which is a non-moving violation and carries no insurance or DMV points in NC.

Three requirements for reduction to IE in Mecklenburg County NC:
  1. No moving violations in the last 3 years.
  2. No Driving While Impaired (DWI) convictions.
  3. Not be charged in excess of 18 mph over the limit. (rule not always enforced if excellent DMV record)
If you meet the above the requirements you may qualify to obtain a reduction to Improper Equipment. The fine and Court costs for Improper Equipment equal $266. Our fee is $200. The total of $466 includes Witt Law Firm paying for a hard copy of your DMV record to show the Assistant District Attorney and attending Court on your behalf. This saves you the inconvenience of paying for a DMV record, taking time off work, paying to park uptown, and waiting in Court for possibly hours.

If you do not meet the requirements to qualify for a reduction to Improper Equipment you may qualify for a Prayer for Judgment Continued (PJC) or a reduction in speed. If you would like to discuss your options with a Matthews NC Speeding Ticket Attorney, please email or give us a call at (704) 493-6851.
