How can I beat a reckless driving ticket in N.C.?
I got a reckless driving charge and I’m really nervous about it. Is there any way to get out of a reckless driving ticket in N.C.? I don’t want this to follow me for the rest of my life.

We’re sorry to hear about your predicament. In order to beat a reckless driving ticket in N.C., your best bet is to try to get the criminal charge dropped. While you’ll still face consequences in the form of fines and
points on your record
, the overall cost of the ticket will be reduced significantly.Getting the criminal charge dropped will also keep the charge off of your criminal record, meaning it won’t affect your future employment opportunities. You also won’t risk jail time. To get the criminal charge dropped successfully, talk to a lawyer who specializes in traffic court.
Regardless, however, you’ll see an increase in your insurance rates as a consequence. The
