Q: I just received a 26-34mph over speeding ticket. no prior moving violations within 6 years. Will my license be suspended
A: Speeding 26-34 over is a Class B misdemeanor and, therefore, a criminal offense - often referred to as aggravated speeding. However, you are fortunately not facing a license suspension based on this single offense. Of course, the goal is still to keep this off of your public record and minimize the penalties. It would be recommended that you contact an attorney that practices in the courthouse where your case is assigned.

A: No

A: No, but this is a criminal offense and a conviction on such an offense will cause you issues with employment, education, housing and financing. You need to hire an attorney to assist you with this matter. Most of the time, that attorney will be able to get this ticket amended to a Petty Offense, but they need time to work the case, so the sooner you hire an attorney, the better.
