How can I beat a reckless driving ticket in N.C.?

I got a reckless driving charge and I’m really nervous about it. Is there any way to get out of a reckless driving ticket in N.C.? I don’t want this to follow me for the rest of my life.

We’re sorry to hear about your predicament. In order to beat a reckless driving ticket in N.C., your best bet is to try to get the criminal charge dropped. While you’ll still face consequences in the form of fines and
points on your record
, the overall cost of the ticket will be reduced significantly.
Getting the criminal charge dropped will also keep the charge off of your criminal record, meaning it won’t affect your future employment opportunities. You also won’t risk jail time. To get the criminal charge dropped successfully, talk to a lawyer who specializes in traffic court.
Regardless, however, you’ll see an increase in your insurance rates as a consequence. The
Jerry
 app can help you find the best rates available on the coverage you need in a matter of minutes. Just download the app, answer some quick questions, and choose from competitive quotes from 50+ top insurance companies. Jerry takes care of the rest!

How do I listen to music in my car without Bluetooth?
I sold my newer car because I couldn’t afford the payments, and I downgraded to an older vehicle. This one doesn’t have Bluetooth. Now I can’t listen to the music I want because I don’t have any CDs. And the radio leaves a lot to be desired... Can I still use my phone to listen to music if my car doesn’t have Bluetooth?
