Projectile objects being thrown at your head create an unsafe work environment and also have the potential to cause serious blindness and bodily injury. Report the incident to your manager. If your manager fails to correct the conduct, then report the matter to Human Resources.

Q: I got pulled over for going 81 in a 50. Instead of arresting me and towing my car, the cop gave me a ticket and court,

I’m required to go. What should I expect? First time offense. First time being pulled over. License Suspension? It says “Method of Release $1500” on my ticket.

Thank you

Speeding 26-34 above the legal speed limit is criminal Class B misdemeanor in Illinois. Driving on a suspended license is a minimum criminal Class A misdemeanor in Illinois. Make certain to show up to Court to preserve your $1500 bond as noted. You will need an attorney to represent you.

Q: I am on court supervision for 90 days and am 6 days away from 90 and got a speeding ticket what now

I got a speeding ticket going 73 in a 55 what are the penalties I could face will they just count the court supervision because it is 6 days from ending as I have a rather clean driving record.

Since you are 6 days away from the 90 day mark - wait out the clock and allow the current court supervision to sunset satisfactorily (ie; pay off fines, complete traffic school, etc. ) on day 90 before you answer to this current speeding ticket.

A guilty plea exposes your son to more civil liability than just possibly losing his license. The best way to avoid a conviction is to show up to Court with your son and bring a seasoned Traffic Attorney with you.

In Illinois, Court Supervision do not count as convictions. However, be mindful the government may ask the Court to revoke Court Supervision and enter a conviction against you if you pick up another ticket while driving on Court Supervision.

The 140 is your bond. The penalty fine for no proof of insurance is much much higher.

Under age 21 - Two moving violation convictions within 24 months triggers a license suspension. Court Supervision, when successfully completed, does not count as a conviction.

Q: Do you need a guardian present with a minor when showing the completion of court supervision.

I did not receive any tickets within the 3 month time period, and I also have the letter from the school stating I completed the driving school. Do I need to have a guardian present, or can I go alone and show them the sheet and be done with the case?

If you are a minor you should always have a parent or guardian accompany you to Court.

Either way just make certain you do show up to Court to show proof of completion of the driving school.

At best you may have been notified that a criminal bench warrant was issued for your arrest. The original signed and court clerk stamped warrant should be in your Court file.

The $1500 is the I-bond amount on the ticket. You do not have to pay it so long as you show up to every Court date. Speeding 26-34 mph above the speed limit is a criminal offense in Illinois. You will need an attorney.

The method of release you are referring to is the bond amount you will have to pay if you fail to show up to Court. They are not the fines and fees. Just make certain you do show up to Court on Monday. Good Luck!
