I haven't gone to his links, but I googled it, and I found this in an article; "Speeding 40 mph over the limit, years ago, was called aggravated speeding. If the name of an offense gives a sense of how serious it is, consider that most crimes that are described as “aggravated” are felonies (eg, aggravated battery)."
But he didn't say it is a felony. He wrote later "Speeding 40 miles an hour over the limit is a Class A misdemeanor. Other Class A misdemeanors include domestic battery, resisting arrest, and driving under the influence. Even though it is just a speeding ticket, it is treated the same as these crimes."
No matter how he wants to qualify it, it is a misdemeanor in Illinois.

Cell phone and Seat belt violation

I have worked in several states and never seen a statue backing that as a felony, misdemeanor sure.
Also most states do classify most traffic offenses as infractions. One major reason is you are not entitled to a jury trial for an infraction. Saves the government a lot of money not seating a jury. -

*Wipes a tear...
All of you have been very classy today with your responses.
I suppose in the end of day after all of this, Im forced to take back the word Felony attached to speeding.
Maybe I made a mistake somewhere over the years and can use a education or correction. Im truly sorry to those who think I wasted some of their time being stubborn defending or advocating or possibly going down swinging over something I might wrongly believed in.
With that said, I'll just wave a white flag meekly and hope that all of you don't think Ive gone stupid brain dead and cannot take learning or teaching. If anything that is a flaw with me, is that people say it aint so or call BS on a position I might take with any subject at the table, whatever it might be.
Maybe tomorrow is a better day. Again thank you all for putting up with me.Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
