This Chicago DUI lawyer has posted here, here, and here about pending legislation. Now comes news of legislation to put you in jail for speeding-- no it's not as fast as you may think.
SB3796
Class B misdemeanors are punishable by a maximum sentence of six months in jail and/or fines up to a maximum of $1,500.
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that a person who drives a vehicle upon any highway of this State at a speed that is 30 miles per hour or more but less than 40 miles per hour in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit established under the Illinois Vehicle Code or a local ordinance commits a Class B misdemeanor.
Oh yes, did I mention that a Class B misdemeanor is a criminal offense? Can you imagine the number of people who would have criminal background show up in background checks for jobs based on this offense?
Free Legal Advice: Drive just under the legal limit, less you end up with hefty fines, incarceration, and criminal background.
