Today I'm travelling on 290 westbound and come up to construction zone, 45mph. Anyone who travels in IL knows that the flow of traffic is going 60mph minimal. I am doing 55 and before I realize it pass a "photo enforcement vehicle" and can't slow down in time.
Cars are passing me on the left but I had ample warning to slow down to 45, but risk getting hit from behind or disrupting flow of traffic.
Am I getting a ticket? How serious is this? I have video proof I was going slower than anyone next to me

True, but there has to be some kind of threshold. They'd be pumping out thousands of violations an hour. I get nabbed for 54 in a 45 when everyone around me is doing 70? I also slowed down to 45 when no one else did, semis included.
My question is, I assume my company gets a ticket if one is issued. Then what? -
Crude Truckin' and flood Thank this.

I understand it is a moving violation as well. I might as well just find a new career from the sounds of it. My record is spotless, 15 years of driving and training. Just a bad moment I guess.

It goes to the company, so what happens to MY record? These are different from red light cameras but not sure how the process works.

I got my picture taken at a red light in Denver. Shortest yellow I have ever encountered. Called my manager right away and "mea culpa" myself. Never heard another word about it. Taking responsibility for one's mistakes can do wonders.
