although laws may be different in NC
instead of paying it though, i would go to court and try and get it reduced. i've gotten most of mine reduced just for going and talking to the attorney there or whoever they have you talk to.
if it's reduced your insurance won't go up

The LEO was correct -- anything above 15 MPH over the speed limit or above 80 MPH is considered a misdemeanor in NC. Don't simply pay the fine -- go to court. The best option is to lawyer up (shouldn't be too expensive) or, if nobody in your household has used the "prayer for judgement (PFJ) plea in the last three years, you can go that route. But if you do the latter, you had better not get another violation within the next three years or you'll be in a world of hurt.
