If it is legally valid, then simply restate the above statement in court.
Call the courts, see if you can mail in the fine. ---------------------------------------------------------- I dealt with a similar issue. Speeding ticket was "must appear" for 77 in a 55 (I know, terrible) in NC and I live in MD. I let it go and 2 years later MD suspended my license! You probably received some letters from NC lawyers. Talk to them. What you can do is get a lawyer to appear in your place, and they may be able to get what they call a "prayer before judgement". Same as our "probation before judgement". Anyway, the lawyer I used cost $350 + court fees. Do it now, rather than waiting, as having it go so long greatly increased my costs. ----------------------------------------------------------
that will probly be two separate charges, but in nc an average speeding ticket with a lawyer for myself was 210 and he appeared in court for me and paid the fine.
