Illinois law on aggravated speeding has changed quite a bit in recent years. On January 1, 2014, the law was changed to set the cutoffs of 26 mph over the limit as a Class B misdemeanor and 35 mph over the limit as a Class A misdemeanor. A class A misdemeanor has a potential jail sentence of up to one year in jail, while a class B misdemeanor has a potential jail sentence of up to 180 days in jail.
