Traffic violations in Illinois range from minor infractions like speeding and running a stop sign to serious offenses including reckless driving and driving on a suspended license. Under the Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/), traffic violations carry penalties including fines, court supervision, license suspension, and even jail time for more serious offenses. Accumulating too many moving violations can result in license suspension. An attorney can often negotiate reduced charges, court supervision instead of conviction, or dismissal, helping you avoid points on your driving record and increased insurance premiums.
