The Consequences of a Traffic Violation in Illinois
Most traffic offenses involve nothing more than a minor fine. In some cases, however, you could be facing substantial fines, points on your license, and even suspension or revocation of your license. In very serious cases, you may even be facing jail time. And of course, a conviction will most likely result in an increase in your insurance premiums, even if it was a minor offense.
The best way to protect yourself and your license is to reach out to a DuPage County speeding and accident ticket lawyer. They can explain your potential penalties and help you understand your options.
Speeding Tickets
Speeding tickets are one of the most common cases we handle. If you have received a speeding ticket, be aware that paying the fine will be considered an admission of guilt, and you will have a speeding conviction on your record. Even petty speeding (25 mph or less over the speed limit, 625 ILCS 5/11-601) can result in a fine of up to $1,000 plus court costs and result in up to 20 points on your driving record. Some of the other speeding charges you can face include the following:
- Aggravated speeding Class B (26-34 mph over the speed limit): up to 6 months in jail, a $1,500 fine, court costs, and 50 points on your driving record (625 ILCS 5/11-601.5(a))
- Aggravated speeding Class A (35+ mph over the speed limit): up to 12 months in jail, a $2,500 fine, court costs, and 50 points on your driving record (625 ILCS 5/11-601.5(b))
- Speeding in a school zone: $150 fine, court costs, and 20 points on your driving record (625 ILCS 5/11-605)
- Speeding in a construction zone: $375 fine, court costs, and 20 points on your driving record (625 ILCS 5/11-605.1)
