Understanding Illinois CDL Speeding Tickets

As a commercial driver, your Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is essential to your livelihood. Unfortunately, receiving a speeding ticket while driving a commercial vehicle can have serious consequences. In Illinois, CDL drivers are held to higher standards than non-commercial drivers, and even a minor speeding violation can result in serious penalties. It is essential to understand the consequences of CDL speeding tickets in Illinois.

Penalties for CDL Speeding Tickets in Illinois

If you are a CDL driver and receive a speeding ticket in Illinois, you could face the following penalties:

• Points on your driving record: Any CDL driver who is convicted of a speeding violation will have points added to their driving record. Depending on the severity of the violation, this can result in the suspension or revocation of your CDL.
• Fines: CDL speeding tickets can result in significant fines. In Illinois, fines for CDL speeding violations are typically higher than fines for non-commercial drivers.
• Job loss: If you accumulate too many points on your driving record, your employer may terminate your employment. This can have significant financial and career consequences.
• Increased insurance rates: CDL drivers who receive speeding tickets may also see an increase in their insurance rates.
