Even just the sight of police lights in your rearview mirror can be unsettling. It can be even more frightening when you are being pulled over. Countless questions and uncertainties likely fill your mind: How fast was I going? Did I run that red light? How much will this cost? Traffic violations of all types are, of course, serious concerns, but certain offenses, such as aggravated speeding can present even more significant challenges. At the Davi Law Group, we are prepared to help you with any and all traffic violations, including criminal charges for aggravated speeding.
The vast majority of traffic offenses are civil infractions, the consequences of which are fairly severe but generally limited to fines and administrative penalties. Aggravated speeding, however, is a different story. Charges of aggravated speeding can be brought in criminal court and depend on how fast you were allegedly driving. Exceeding the posted speed limit by 26 mph or more is considered a Class B misdemeanor, while driving 35 mph or more over the speed limit is a Class A misdemeanor for a first offense. This means you could be facing up to one year in prison and $2,500 in fines for simply driving too fast. In addition, a conviction will result in a permanent criminal record, a situation much more serious than an imperfect driving history.
