Morton Grove, IL asked in Traffic Tickets for Illinois

Q: Willl my license get suspended? Will it go on a criminal record ? What is a individual bond.

I’m only 18 and I got a ticket for disobeying a stop sign dec 28 2018. I got another way a couple days ago For the same reason. I paid the first one off. Than I got a ticket for speeding 26 Mph -34 mph. The officer did not arrest me but made me sign some papers . I think it’s a individual bond. It says 1500$ on it.

A: That’s just the bond. You are in danger of losing your license. This charge is a crime not a ticket. Find a lawyer

A: Speeding 26-34 over the limit is a Class B misdemeanor. If convicted, it will go on your public record. The $1,500 is an I-bond, no need to worry about that amount specifically unless you fail to show up in court. However, you are technically facing a maximum $1,500 fine and up to 6 months in jail on the offense. Additionally, if convicted, you are facing a license suspension. It only takes two tickets within 2 years when you are under the age of 21. Many of these more serious consequences can likely be avoided, but you will want to find proper legal representation.

A: You are facing a criminal charge and if convicted, this charge will cause you issues with employment, education, housing and financing for the rest of your life. Do not hesitate, hire an attorney right away to assist you with this matter.
