Aggravated Speeding
In Illinois, aggravated speeding is a criminal offense. You may face charges with this violation if you are caught driving:
- 26-34 mph over the speed limit (Class B misdemeanor)
- 35 mph or more over the speed limit (Class A misdemeanor)
The penalties for aggravated speeding can be severe. A conviction may result in:
- Fines up to $2,500
- Up to one year in jail
- Driver’s license suspension
- A permanent criminal record
These serious charges require a strong legal defense to protect your driving privileges, freedom and future opportunities.
Leaving The Scene Of An Accident
Also known as a hit-and-run, leaving the scene of an accident is a serious offense in Illinois. Whether the accident involved property damage, injury or death, failing to stop and provide necessary information can lead to severe consequences, including:
- Felony charges
- Substantial fines
- Imprisonment
- Driver’s license revocation
We understand that panic or confusion can lead to poor decisions at the moment, but our experienced attorneys can help you navigate the legal complexities and work toward minimizing the impact on your life.
Passing A Stopped School Bus
The safety of children is paramount, and Illinois law takes violations involving school buses very seriously. Passing a stopped school bus with its stop arm extended is illegal and can result in:
- Substantial fines
- Driver’s license suspension
- Potential jail time for repeat offenders
Even if you make an honest mistake, the consequences can be severe, so it is crucial to have a criminal defense to protect your rights and driving privileges.
