motordavid,

Thanks. I do plan to pay.

Yes, I did some web searches and found that "conviction of speeding more than 15 miles over limit when the speed is 55 mph or greater" could result in suspension of NC driving privilege or they might notify my state which could suspend my license... So I guess I was lucky to keep driving...

Two lawyers said they would try to get the ticket reduced to down to "9 over". They might be able to do that given that the speed limits on the highways that I was on through varied from 75 down to 60.
