Offenses of Traffic Violations
Traffic violations result when motorists disregard road rules. You can face criminal charges if the traffic violation is trivial and result in property destruction, injury, or fatality. Felony traffic violations can result in harsh penalties and time in jail. You can face prison time of 1-30 years, depending on the class of the felony. Some of the criminal offenses of traffic violations include:
- Vehicular homicide
- Driving with a suspended license
- Aggravated DUI or a subsequent DUI charge
- Attempting to flee from a police officer
- Escaping or evading from a scene of an accident
Illinois Traffic Violation Penalties
The Illinois system has a unique strategy and uses a particular point system for traffic violations. You can be issued points depending on the nature of the traffic violation. You can get a ticket in your mail for a traffic violation detected by virtual cameras in Illinois City. The violations are administrative violations, and you will not face points on the driving record. However, they tend to be very costly. You can also receive a ticket email for any traffic violation.
There are traffic violations that necessitate a court appearance and others that can be solved without the court. If you have several points on your driving record, your driving license may be revoked or suspended. For instance, when you accumulate up to 3 traffic convictions in 12 months, the state may decide to suspend or revoke your driver's license.
