    Default Incorrect Location on Speeding on a Ticket

    My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: North Carolina

    I was issued a ticket citing a road that is about 3 miles from where I was stopped. I never traveled on that road or crossed it. Do you think this is enough to get the ticket dismissed entirely?

    Default Re: Incorrect Location on Speeding on a Ticket

    North Carolina is well known for increasing tickets in tough times to help pay their bills. The troopers are really just tax collectors here in our state and they do not give out warnings. They stake out their speed traps where the speed limit changes two or three times in a few miles and rake in the bucks. I moved here and had no tickets for over 20 years before I got here. My driving habits have not changed. I got a ticket a few years back and the trooper put the wrong court date on the ticket. So there we were 20 or 30 of us at the courthouse on a day when there was no traffic court. I was just a few minutes from having a magistrate throw mine out when the PA showed up and forced us to come back on the right day. Cost me not one but two days of work. I will let others answer your question here. I got off on my ticket because they had the wrong speed at the location on the ticket and I had prepared myself well to fight it. From what I read they have a lot of lead way on location though on a ticket.
