Types of Illinois Speeding & Traffic Tickets
Not all traffic tickets are the same. The penalties depend on how fast the officer says you were driving:
Petty Speeding (1–25 mph over the limit)
Considered a moving violation.
Fines are typically around $300.
Affects your license and insurance rates.
Aggravated Speeding (26+ mph over the limit)
26–34 mph over: Class B misdemeanor, up to 6 months in jail and fines up to $1,500.
35+ mph over: Class A misdemeanor, up to 12 months in jail and fines up to $2,500.
A misdemeanor speeding conviction means a criminal record that can affect jobs, housing, education, and even professional licenses.
What Does a Traffic Ticket Cost?
Paying the fine might seem like the easy way out—but the fine is just the beginning. A single ticket can:
Increase your insurance premiums for years.
Add points to your license and bring you closer to suspension.
Result in a permanent criminal record if charged with aggravated speeding.
These consequences can easily cost you thousands of dollars andcreate challenges that last long after the court date.
