Am I eligible for an Improper Equipment Reduction in North Carolina?
An improper equipment reduction is a common way of dealing with speeding tickets in North Carolina. Many prosecutors in North Carolina will reduce a speeding ticket (a moving violation) to improper equipment (a non-moving violation) for those with a safe driving record. A reduction to “improper equipment” is a great option for individuals who face the unfortunate circumstance of receiving a speeding ticket in North Carolina. An improper equipment is a non-moving violation reduction, so it results in zero license or insurance points.
