About Misdemeanor Speeding Tickets

Speeding tickets are the single most common type of traffic offense committed on Illinois roadways. Speeding tickets up to 25 mph over the limit are considered petty offenses. However, once your speed is at or above 26 mph over the speed limit, you will be charged with a criminal misdemeanor. Prosecutors consider these offenses as one of the most dangerous types of traffic violations, because the allegation is that you "threatened the safety and well-being of other motorists by operating your vehicle at a high rate of speed." Generally speaking, higher speeds are more likely to contribute to car accidents and high speed collisions can cause serious bodily harm or even death.
