There are three types of speeding violations that can turn into criminal misdemeanor charges:
- Driving more than 20 miles per hour above the posted speed limit
- Driving more than 80 miles per hour
- Racing or drag racing
Excessive speed, or reckless driving by speed, carries some of the same legal consequences of other criminal misdemeanors such as petty theft or driving under the influence (DUI). Penalties may include a jail term of up to one year, a maximum fine of $2,500, a six month suspension of your driver’s license, and administrative penalties including sustaining a criminal conviction on your record. For many people, the biggest hurdle created by a reckless driving conviction is the lingering criminal record. Law abiding citizens can be plagued by a criminal record that, in the public eye, groups them with more serious criminals for the simple act of speeding. With the help of a qualified Mecklenburg speeding ticket attorney, you can fight this criminal charge and work to minimize your chances of conviction.
