The offense of speeding 40 mph or more over the speed limit is a Class A misdemeanor, a serious criminal offense. If you are convicted of that charge you will be required to disclosure that conviction on future job applications. In a tough job market a criminal conviction may disqualify you from employment opportunities.
Furthermore, a conviction for speeding will dramatically increase your insurance rates regardless of your age. It may even disqualify you from obtaining insurance at any price. Therefore, it is important that you do all that you can to keep this ticket off of your driving record. It may be possible to do so even if you have already had Court Supervision for a previous speeding ticket.
