Evanston, IL asked in Traffic Tickets for Illinois

Q: I received a 26 - 34 over ticket in Lake County and I have not been issued a speeding ticket in Illinois before. Help?

I do have a speeding ticket from Minnesota from going 13 over. I paid the fine and that was it. And I was issued two tickets that were completely dismissed for failure to stop after an accident and reckless driving. I went to court and they just dismissed it and gave me my license back and said I was free to go.
