A: In Utah, speeding 31 mph or more over the speed limit is considered a Class B misdemeanor, which is more serious than a typical speeding ticket. Since you're a minor, the penalties might differ from those for adults and could involve not just fines but also impact on your driving privileges. Appearing in court is usually mandatory for offenses of this magnitude, especially for minors.
