I got my first speeding ticket in Charlotte...

On the way to The Masters. They were camping out on 77 and I just got pinched. poo happens, I get that.

 

But what do I need to do next? My dad has said I should just go to the courthouse uptown, take a shot and ask if they'll tear it up because I have a perfect record – never gotten a ticket before and only been pulled over three times – despite having driven for almost 11 years now. 

 

What would you guys do? It's for 14 over, 69 in a 55. I don't think they'd tear one up for 14 over, but is it worth going over there to ask or should I just pay the fuger?

I can tell you what not to do. I've always paid a lawyer. Roughly 300 bucks and it's always been dropped. Well last ticket two years ago I went down town spoke with an ada. Waited in line for an hour. He reduced it from 81 in a 65 to 71 in a 65. I had always heard if it's under 9 it won't hurt your insurance. So I paid my 150 dollar fine and went on my way proud of myself for saving 150 bucks. "Screw a lawyer, that was easy". Fast forward a few months and time for insurance renewal and boom im hit with a three year rate increase because of it!!!!!

Tldr. Pay the money for a lawyer. It's worth it

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
