Brian,

sorry to hear about your misfortune, i too got a tkt in NC on my way to FL back in 2009, if recall correctly between lawyer and fine it was about $650, they didn't give me any points (thank god) but i believe i paid the maximum fine

i think in this towns they all know each other (cop, lawyer, judge) and they go hard on out of state people ... good luck man!
