I apologize in advance for the long read - I'll try to keep it straight:sleeping:
My father in law (FIL) was down in FL visiting and house hunting 2 years ago. On his way home to NC, he got nailed doing 92 in a 70 on I-95 in SC by the local LEOs (not Hwy Patrol). They had him - dead to rights - kind of hard to miss a black 750Li moving at that speed:burn:. He got a local SC attorney to ensure he didn't end up in jail, etc. due to the high degree over over the posted limit.
The local atty did her thing - the fine was paid (unsure if points were assessed, but supposedly, the infraction was reduced, but not sure by how much - I need to find that out from my FIL) and everyone should go on with life.
Shortly after the ticket, my FIL moved to FL. He actually resolved the ticket after he moved down here (glacial due process:beer. Net message - he no longer lives in NC, but FL and has for just shy of 2 years.
Last week, he gets a letter from the state of NC saying they are going to suspend his license for 6 months because he was ticketed for in excess of 80 mph. The letter went on to state that they will issue a bench warrant, if they do not hear from him by XX date.
His initial reaction was "do nothing" since he is no longer licensed in NC (he gave that license to the FL DMV when he moved here), but I'm inclined to think that it is best to get everything fixed, so it doesn't bite him in the butt at a later date.
Thoughts?
Thanks - Derek
