I then missed the following... Read more »
Yes, but you really should hire an attorney to assist you with this matter. Since you failed to appear in court as directed, a default judgment was entered against you. In order to remove this judgment, a Motion to Vacate will have to be filed and properly served on the prosecutor. The Motion will... Read more »
I don't see how going through the administrative hearing to appeal a Zoom judge opinion of me owing a fine would help any.
So I want to sue the municipal with all the stuff I've been reading about feds probe red light programs in state and around the country
You first have to exhaust all other avenues of relief which includes appealing the administrative matter accordingly.
My daughter was traveling through Illinois on her way back to Arkansas from seeing a friend. She Hydroplaned on the freeway after hitting standing water going 55 in a 65 she went off the road and totaled her car and she got a traffic ticket. No other vehicles or personnel were involved. It was... Read more »
Because it’s arguable that she failed to maintain control over vehicle, failed to reduce speed to avoid an accident, drove too fast for conditions and other possible violations. The state has to prove those but the fact that it was a one vehicle accident does not constitute a defense
I was given a ticket for going over the speed limit at 23 MPH. The ticket does say court is not required. Will my license get suspended.
You are allowed two moving violation convictions every 24 months when you are under 21. I do not suggest just paying this ticket. Even though the ticket is marked No Appearance Required, you must appear in court and request Court Supervision at the very least. You will be required to pay a higher... Read more »
This is my first offense ever. I’m 16 and the ticket says no court is required. Will my license be suspended..
No but it can extend your GDL restrictions for another 6 months.
I was pulled over in Illinois and have been approved for court supervision on the first ticket the second I have just received. what are the consequences? The first ticket was 22 over and I have already paid the fine. The second was 96 in a 65 and have a mandatory court date on January 27th. Should... Read more »
The new ticket is a criminal offense. Aggravated speeding 26-34 mph over the posted limit is a Class B misdemeanor. Technically, that offense may be punished by up to 6 months in jail and a $1,500 fine. Given your recent prior speeding ticket and the nature of the new offense, you (or a parent)... Read more »
I called the judge and she told me I need to pay $184. Will this affect my points or insurance in Illinois?
I have already previously answered this questions, so please refer to that answer. Bottom line, you need to hire an attorney licensed in Texas to assist you and you must tell that attorney that you are licensed in Illinois and need the ticket amended.
got a ticket for speeding (80 m/h in a 65 m/h zone at night, no workers) in TX, but my driver license is issued in IL
I called the judge and she told me I need to pay $184
You really should hire an attorney licensed in Texas to handle this matter for you. If you just pay the ticket, it will be reported to Illinois and your insurance company will find out about it. You need to have this ticket amended to a non-moving violation. When you speak with the Texas attorney,... Read more »
i have not got a ticket in about a year and i got court supervition i just got one tonight going 28 over i turn 18 in 3 day i am all for paying the fine i just dont want them to take my licence
This would be your first conviction. So they won’t take your license but this is a criminal offense.
Because it is a criminal offense (with a mandatory court appearance), having an attorney is recommended. Aggravated speeding 26-34 mph over the limit is a class b misdemeanor. Technically, it is punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $1500 fine. Depending on certain factors, it may be possible... Read more »

A few weeks ago, I was pulled over for speeding. The officer claims I was going 26 over the speed limit on a highway, though my car physically can’t go that fast. HOWEVER he wrote the ticket for a 15-20 over infraction, no court appearance required.
I went to pay my ticket online and... Read more »
We’ve seen these mistakes made by officers more than a handful of times. There is a mandatory court appearance for speeding 26+ in Illinois as the offense is a Class B misdemeanor. You should contact an attorney who practices in the courthouse where your cases is assigned to discuss your options... Read more »
I got into an accident last week (it was my fault) and I received a ticket for failure to reduce my speed and causing an accident. Today I received another ticket by mail saying that I was operating my vehicle without insurance. I do have insurance but when the police asked for my insurance card at... Read more »
If you provide proof of insurance that covers the time of the accident, the ticket for not having insurance will be dismissed.
The ticket is checked with "No court appearance necessary". Does she just pay it? Can she still drive? Should she still drive? Should we go to court? We really are not sure what to do. Help!!
Thank you so much.
Do not pay it as that will result in a conviction on her record. It is best to appear in court and, at a minimum, request court supervision. An attorney can assist if you would like more guidance. She can still drive with the ticket pending but that is up to you.
My son (16) was ticketed for going 15 over the limit (50 in a 35) and also another ticket for not having his insurance in the car. He has insurance and was issued a court date and must appear. What possible consequences can he face? Does he plead guilty or no? What are some possible things he can... Read more »
Presumably, this is his first ticket. If so, the prosecutor may be willing to offer a deferred prosecution for a dismissal or court supervision with a traffic school course to prevent this from counting against his driving privileges (and insurance). That depends on a few factors including the... Read more »
However I wasn’t speeding that much. I was going I was going between 85/90/95 then reduced my speed. And when he pulled me over he said he was following me for an hour but why didn’t you pulled me over at some point then ?! I just don’t know what to do cause I got my ticket out of state (West...

In Illinois, this would be charged as a misdemeanor (criminal) offense. However, laws change from state to state. You should contact an attorney in West Virginia to discuss the specifics, your options, and determine the best strategy moving forward.
It should be mailed to the address on your license, but that doesn’t always happen,
especially due to their limited staff and constantly changing procedures due to Covid. You can go in person to the Clerk’s Office at 50 W Washington or consider it lost/destroyed and request a duplicate... Read more »
My girlfriend was ticketed for speeding on June 2020 and had to pay a fine and court supervision. Comes November 2020 and she got pulled over for violating Scott's law. She saw the lights flashing behind her, she slowed down but couldn't move over to the other lane since it wasn't... Read more »
In Sangamon County the state won’t offer supervision but if she requests it the judge will probably grant it. Fine is usually $310.
