TYPES OF TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
In Illinois, traffic tickets can be classified into two main categories: moving violations and non-moving violations. Understanding the different types of traffic tickets is crucial in determining the potential consequences and penalties you may face.
Moving violations occur when a driver fails to comply with traffic laws while the vehicle is in motion. Examples of moving violations include speeding, running red lights, or reckless driving. Non-moving violations, on the other hand, are related to violations that occur when the vehicle is stationary, such as parking violations or expired registration.
It’s important to note that traffic fines in Illinois can be categorized as petty traffic, traffic, or criminal offenses. Civil offenses typically result in fines and the accumulation of points on your driving record. Accumulating too many points can lead to license suspension or increased insurance premiums. On the other hand, criminal offenses are more severe and carry greater penalties, including possible fines, license revocation, or even imprisonment.
Whether you are facing a moving violation or a non-moving violation, a traffic ticket lawyer will thoroughly review your case, assess the evidence, and develop a strategic defense strategy tailored to your specific situation. Our goal is to protect your rights, minimize the impact on your driving record, and help you achieve the best possible outcome.

ILLINOIS TRAFFIC TICKET SYSTEM
In Illinois, traffic violations are assessed points on a driver’s license based on the severity of the offense. Understanding the point system is crucial in determining the impact of traffic violations on your driving record. Here are examples of the penalties associated with specific violations:
- Speeding: 5-50 points
- Careless driving: 20 points
- Failure to stop at a steady red signal: 20 points
- Reckless driving: 55 points
- Failure to obey traffic control signals: 20 points
Depending on the circumstances of your traffic violation, you may have the option to attend a traffic school course to mitigate the penalties. However, there are limitations to this option. Illinois law allows individuals to attend driving school once a year and up to a maximum of five times in their lifetime. It’s important to note that attending driving school may not be an option for more serious offenses, such as reckless driving. Additionally, if a driving course is part of your sentencing, attending it may not reduce the points associated with the violation.
At the Law Offices of Laura Golub, we have extensive experience in handling various traffic violations and their potential impact on your driving record. Our knowledgeable attorneys can assess your case, explain the available options, and provide strategic advice to minimize the consequences.
