New Legislation would Prohibit Supervision for Speeders Driving in Excess of 40MPH Over the Limit

Joe Mahr, wrote in an interesting article today in the Chicago Tribune (i) that some Cook, Dupage, and Lake County judges are under close scrutiny following an investigation by the newspaper for handing out what it believes are excessive amounts of supervision for Illinois drivers caught speeding in excess of 40 MPH over the speed limit.

I can assure you that this is not a likely outcome here in Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois. However, according to the article, it’s soon not likely to be an outcome available to any Illinois drivers if new legislation that has passed both houses of the Illinois General Assembly is signed by Governor Quinn.

SB3796 (ii) would eliminate Supervision as a possible sentence for Illinois motorists driving in excess of 40 MPH over the posted speed limit. The same legislation would also make speeding 30-40 MPH over the posted speed limit a Class B Misdemeanor.

    Good afternoon,

    I would like to ask you to revise your article, because I didn’t write anything anywhere. It is published by Chicago Trubune and I DID NOT write the article.

    Best Regards

    Stefan Entchev
