Do not ignore the ticket. If you do you will end up with a warrant for your arrest and probably a suspended license. You need to contact a local lawyer as soon as possible.

That is a complicated issue that sometimes comes up when there has been identity theft. There probably is a way to get those taken off your driving record and clear that suspension from your license but it will not be easy. I would contact an attorney in the Springfield area to help you with... View More 
1st speeding ticket I was 16. I got court supervision, fines and traffic class.
I am now 21, work on an ambulance and need this to go away. I just bought a 2017 Ford Fusion this week and damn, totally not used to it. It felt like I was going 60 but I guess I was going 99 in a 65 on the... View More

You have a serious case here which can impact your driving privileges. It is also technically a misdemeanor offeense as charged. You need to consult with a lawyer. The goal ultimately would be to try and get it reduced to a petty offense but that will not be easy given the speed.
I will be taking driving school and they put me on 6 month court supervision. I don't know if I have to go back for a court date.

Normally if you're taking driving safety school you would have to return to court to show proof of completion. You should double check with the clerk's office.
I also got some warnings on my record can I still keep my licence.

Probably, however, this ticket needs to be handled properly. Normally, license suspension/revocations occur when you receive multiple convictions. If you are eligible to receive "court supervision" and do in fact receive it on this citation that should keep the Secretary of State from... View More

If you were already released on bond you would normally not be taken into custody unless you somehow violated the conditions of your bond. However, it is possible the prosecutor's office would seek to increase your bond depending on the cause of your revocation and other factors. Typically... View More
I was told if I pay the fine then I don't have to appear at the next court date, so I wonder if on the next 3 months I don't get another ticket when I appear at the next court date, the fine will be waived?

You should check with your attorney or the clerk's office. However, the fine is usually a condition of the supervision and not waived. Sounds like you will have to pay that unless you were told otherwise by the court.

Exceeding the posted speed limit by 26 mph or more is considered a misdemeanor offense. It is certainly more serious than your typical traffic ticket and can have serious consequences for your driving privileges. While jail time is technically possible it is extremely, extremely rare unless... View More
