going 110 in a 65

[fisherman13]

What is the name of your state? Illinois

I was pulled over for going 110 mph in a 65 mph zone do you no how much the ticket can be (max.)? Is there a way for me to convert the fine into community service hours? How do I no if i got charged for reckless driving would that be a seperate ticket or can the judge give me a fine for that when i go to court? thanks

You really need a lawyer, the consequences could be serious and long term for that speed.

Lawyer or no, plan on the loss of your license until you are 21.

how much do you think the fine will be?

The fine is the least of your worries! Talk to your parents about hiring an attorney . The ramifications of this ticket are huge.....10's of thousands of dollars in insurance premiums for the extra points WHEN you do get your license back! You are damn lucky that you didn't kill someone with your reckless disregard for others safety!

what will happen if i pled guilty

I was just looking at something that lists traffic offenses in the State of Illinois and their corresponding "point" values, which determines the levels of punishment and penalties. The worst offenses have a 50 point value, one of which is speeding in excess of 29 mph over the limit. You were in excess of 45 mph.

Not only do you need money for a lawyer, you're going to need lots of money to pay your future insurance premiums. Plus, if you've had at least one other violation in the past 24 months, you might as well buy a bicycle.

Nobody can tell you what "will" happen. Too many variables. But Bay is right, you can probably count on losing your license for a while. You also may be fined. You really need a lawyer.

Driving greater than 40 over the limit is a Class A Misdemeanor in Illinois ('625 ILCS 5/11-601.5). Fine not greater than $2500. Plus a special $4 fine for each $40 fine imposed for traffic school for under 18, so add $250. Jail term not more than one year.
