In Arizona, criminal speeding is classified as a class 3 misdemeanor. This could result in a maximum of 30 days imprisonment, a financial penalty of up to $500 in fines and fees, a negative impact on your driving record with the addition of 3 points, and a permanent criminal mark on your record. To avoid a driver's license suspension, you must maintain under 8 points on your driving record within one year.
Other violations, such as reckless or aggressive driving, could result in additional charges, leading to harsher consequences like extended jail time and higher fines. Unlike regular traffic offenses, a criminal speeding conviction remains on a person's criminal record for life and cannot be erased. Hiring an experienced criminal speeding attorney in Phoenix can help reduce the severity of penalties, mitigate the daily impact of charges, and safeguard a driver's future.
