FAQ
Court supervision is a viable option for traffic, misdemeanor, and municipal ordinance cases in Illinois. The courts may order supervision for non-felony offenses following a guilty plea or a guilty finding at trial. Supervision is only possible on traffic tickets and misdemeanor criminal cases.
Misdemeanor Charges for Speeding Should Be Fought Simply paying the ticket is the same thing as pleading guilty, which means you will end up with a permanent criminal record and possibly even jail time if you were charged with misdemeanor speeding. Fines are also much higher for misdemeanor traffic violations.
Illinois speeding ticket fines 1-20 mph over: $120. 21-25 mph over: $140. 26-34 mph over: Maximum of $1,500. 35 mph over: Maximum of $2,500.
Can you Get a Speeding Ticket Dismissed in Illinois? An order for court supervision can lead to the dismissal of a speeding ticket in Illinois. Basically, offenders plead guilty but do not get a conviction for their offense.
One crucial aspect to consider when deciding to contest a traffic ticket is the financial implications. Fighting a ticket can involve attorney fees, additional court fines if you lose, time off work to attend court, and potentially higher auto insurance rates.
The best defense to a ticket for speeding is that you were driving the safest rate of speed based on the traffics around you, weather, road conditions, and your own experience along with your personal knowledge of the motor vehicle you were driving.
When you show up in court, be sincerely apologetic, explain that this is your first ticket and you understand that you should've been more attentive, and ask if they can reduce (to 14 over at most -- no points or reporting that way) or dismiss the ticket.
What are the most successful excuses to avoid speeding tickets? I didn't know I was speeding: 26% Medical emergency: 25% Everyone else was going the same speed: 22% Late for work: 21% I had to use the bathroom: 20% Late for an interview: 16% Late to pick up or drop my child off: 15% I didn't see the sign: 14%
