Aggravated speeding is NOT just a “ticket”. It is a crime. Our representatives in Springfield have set a punishment for “Aggravated Speeding” so that the Judge can sentence you to jail (for as much as 364 days) and fine you as much as $2500. The punishment depends in part on how much over the limit you were speeding.

If you are convicted of violating 625 ILCS 5/-601.5 (a) Speeding more than 26 miles per hour over the limit then the Judge can sentence you to time in the County Jail for as long as 180 days and fine you $1500 and in addition assess you mandatory Court Costs. Any criminal conviction has a negative impact on future employment.
