Penalties for Criminal Speeding

If you are found guilty of the charge, you will permanently have a criminal record. This means every time you fill out a job application – which asks whether you have a criminal record – you will have to answer yes. This is not limited to job applications, but extends to college applications and applications for most every professional license.

If you are found guilty of criminal speeding, you could be facing:

• Class 3 misdemeanor charges
• Jail time up to 30 days
• $500 fine plus 84% surcharge

If the criminal penalties were not enough, the effects of a criminal speeding ticket on your vehicle insurance rates can be shocking, and these increased rates can last for years.

• Getting in touch with the assigned prosecutor. As soon as we get to work on your case, we’ll contact the prosecutor and begin negotiations pertaining to a potential plea offer.
